Biochemical Engineer or Chemist

Avocet Polymer Technologies (www.avocetcorp.com) is recruiting a biochemical engineer or chemist that is interested in the design and manufacturing of biopolymers that will modulate stress protein function to augment cell and wound healing as well control the molecular mechanics of protein folding. There is also an opportunity for involvement in molecular dynamic computational modeling (MD Simulation) of protein-polymer interactions. The candidate is expected to have laboratory skills in GPC, HPLC, Mass Spectrometry and light sheet methods of investigation copolymer-protein interactions.  In addition, basic skills in cell culture and polymerase chain Reaction (PCR) analysis would be valuable. 

Avocet is developing a new class of synthetic molecular chaperone therapeutics trauma victims.  This position involves laboratory and computational approaches to molecular design.
