Applicants must be U.S. citizens. > > Associateships are awarded to persons who have held the doctorate for less than five years at the time of application. (Candidates may apply before their PhD degree is conferred.) Electronic applications for the next competition are due on 1 FEB (5:00 PM EST), and supporting documents (e.g., letters, transcripts) must be received by 15 FEB (5:00 PM EST). Postdoctoral appointments are usually announced in late SEP for start dates beginning in JAN-JUN 2016 (sometimes earlier). > > THE PROPOSAL: The application includes a proposal describing research that the candidate will conduct during his/her tenure. My interests are quite broad and afford much creativity to the candidate: > · H/D exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) for biopharmaceutical analysis <http://www.nist.gov/mml/bmd/hdx-ms.cfm> > · Expanding the application of HDX-MS to new protein types, > · Studies of protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions, and > · Enhancing HDX-MS resolution and dynamic range. > > Candidates should contact me to discuss their project and proposal preparation.

[Compbio-allhands] Fwd: Vertex Fellowship: Seeking Candidates
by Brian Shoichet 17 Nov '16

FYI...seems interesting. They are very strong scientifically at Vertex. Brian ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Georgia McGaughey <georgia_mcgaughey(a)vrtx.com> Date: Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 12:05 PM Subject: Vertex Fellowship: Seeking Candidates To: "shoichet(a)cgl.ucsf.edu" <shoichet(a)cgl.ucsf.edu> Cc: Kelly Lewis <kelly_lewis(a)vrtx.com> Hi Brian, I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing to ask for your help as we seek candidates for the second class of the Vertex Fellows program. Vertex Fellows get to work as part of a team to create transformative medicines for patients with serious diseases, learn about the variety of functions that contribute to getting these medicines to patients, and receive mentorship from senior leaders. Our goal with the Vertex Fellowship is to attract some of the most talented scientists and physicians to join Vertex for one year of immersive learning about the science of discovering and developing medicines, and, in the process, expose us to innovative ways of thinking. The response in our first year was fantastic. We received 134 high quality applications for a handful of positions. The 4 Fellows that joined us in September are enthusiastic about how much they are learning and they are already adding value to our teams. The 2016 Fellows are as follows: · *Bart Borek*, PhD, from the Hasty lab at the BioCircuits Institute at UCSD · *Alexandra Cantley*, PhD, from the Clardy lab at Harvard · *Kevin Daniel*, PhD, from the Langer and Anderson labs at the Koch Institute at MIT · *Rob Komorowski*, PhD, from the Bear lab at the Picower Institute at MIT Each Fellow gets embedded within an existing project team based on his or her interests and experience and our needs. In addition, we provide Fellows with a week of intensive training on the science of drug discovery and the business of creating medicines as well as other group training opportunities throughout the year. The program is intentionally short(one year) so it augments rather than replaces a traditional postdoc, residency or business school experience. We expect to hire 5 - 7 Fellows across our global sites to start in September 2017. We will provide career advice and mentorship to help the fellows as they consider options, including open positions at Vertex, toward the end of the program. I am asking for your help with identifying potential Fellows who would be excited about such an opportunity. *Do you know anyone who might be a good fit? Applications are due by Jan 31.* I'm attaching a 1-page flyer with more information. I’d be particularly grateful if you would pass this along to any potential Fellows whom you think might be interested. Please do let me know what questions or feedback you have about the program. Thanks for your help, -Georgia Georgia McGaughey, Ph.D. *Vertex Pharmaceuticals* 50 Northern Ave, Building A, 3027, Boston, MA 02210 Office: 617.961.1652, Cell: 215.565.6125 g <Anne-Laure_Grillot(a)vrtx.com>eorgia_mcgaughey(a)vrtx.com This email message and any attachments are confidential and intended for use by the addressee(s) only.
