Van Andel Research Institute, an independent organization dedicated to becoming one of the 
world's pre-eminent private medical research institutes by building on the extraordinary 
discoveries in molecular biology and genetics, is inviting applications for two Principal 
Investigators in Protein Crystallography.

Candidates should be interested in establishing an independent research program. The structural 
biology component will complement and enhance the existing and planned multi-disciplinary effort 
in cancer biology. Qualified candidates with experience in protein crystallography, especially 
those with an interest in cancer research, should consider this unique opportunity in the newly 
created institute. The Michigan Life Sciences Corridor has recently funded a Center for Structural 
Biology, a consortium comprised of the major Michigan universities and VARI to emphasize 
structural biology in the development of a Michigan-wide effort. Among the anticipated benefits 
will be preferential access to a regional beamline at the Argonne National Laboratory as well as 
strong ties to structural biologists at the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and 
Wayne State University. New space, generous start-up funds, and resources for a five-year 
commitment are part of the package.

Applications are invited from highly motivated individuals with:
*	a Ph.D.
*	at least three years of postdoctoral experience in protein crystallography
*	a proven record of accomplishments
