the Summer 2011 issue of the "Canadian NMR Research" bulletin is now available for download. In this issue Corey Morcombe writes about Magnetic Resonance developments at Agilent, a new CREATE program in Bionanomachines is announced, and our colleagues from Calgary pay respect to the late Deane McIntyre. You are welcome to forward this bulletin to your students and co-workers. |

This
2009 special issue of Canadian Journal of Chemistry is dedicated to
Professor Tom Ziegler (University of Calgary, web
),
a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Theoretical Inorganic Chemistry, one of
the pioneers of density functional theory (DFT). Prof. Ziegler has made many
important contributions to the development of DFT calculations of NMR parameters.
We encourage you to read two wonderful tributes to Prof. Ziegler written by
Arvi Rauk, Heiko Jacobsen and Tom Woo, and to browse through many excellent
research papers by world-leading experts in computational chemistry.
This special CJC issue is devided in two parts:
Part 1 of 2 is now finalized (volume 87, number 7, July 2009)

Manager,
Instrumentation Facility & Services
Department of Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry at the University of Calgary invites applications for a Manager of our Instrumentation Facility.
The appointee will have responsibilities managing the operation and maintenance of the Departmental Instrumentation Facility which includes a variety of chemical/spectroscopic techniques (e.g. NMRs, Mass Specs., EPR, FT-IR, UV-Vis, CD, Elemental Analyzer, polarimeters), scheduling of instrument usage, supervision of technical staff, manage the Facility budget, provide assistance in troubleshooting/diagnosing problems that arise, train users of the Facility, assist departmental research groups in conducting specific experiments, assist in future planning of instrument upgrades and new instrument acquisitions, maintain a high level of expertise and knowledge in the field of Chemical/Spectroscopic instrumentation techniques, assist Faculty members with the writing of grants and proposals.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in chemistry or the equivalent, hands on experience in the operation and maintenance of NMR and/or Mass Specs. Some experience in troubleshooting and basic understanding of electronics would be desirable. The appointee will be expected to remain abreast of current developments with instrumentation.
Details on the Department of Chemistry can be found at http://www.ucalgary.ca/chem/
Applications will be reviewed commencing September 15, 2009 and will be considered until the position is filled. Qualified applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, statement of managing philosophy, evidence of experience in the operation and maintenance of instruments, and arrange for at least three letters of reference to be sent to:
Dr.

The
latest issue of Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy is
dedicated to various aspects of NMR in molecular biology. The first
Chapter in this six-chapter volume is written by a team from the University
of Calgary reviewing modern solution and solid-state NMR experiments
to characterize antimicrobial peptides and mechanisms of their action. Evan F. Haney and Hans J. Vogel, "NMR of Antimicrobial Peptides," Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy 65 (2009) 1-51. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0066-4103(08)00201-9 |
