Job Description:

Beginning immediately: QuantumBio Inc., headquartered adjacent to The
Pennsylvania State University in scenic State College, PA, is in need of a post
doctoral computational Biochemist/Chemist or Xray Crystallographer interested in
continuing his or her career within a dynamic, small-company environment.  Under
the direction of Dr. Lance M. Westerhoff, General Manager of QuantumBio Inc.,
the successful candidate will work with both academic and industrial partners to
help transition and validate the novel, quantum mechanically based Xray
refinement technologies recently developed in the academic laboratory of Dr.
Kenneth M. Merz Jr. to QuantumBios product line.

The successful candidate will be integral to this project and will focus his or
her efforts on the research and software development aspects necessary to
validate and deploy this novel technology across the pharmaceutical industry.
The position requires the candidate to have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry,
or related field and have extensive experience with PHENIX and/or other similar
xray refinement packages along with an understanding of modern software
development principles. Due to the limited number of new work visas available,
only American citizens or candidates with valid work permits will be considered
at this time.  A willingness to publish required, and experience with C++ and high
performance programming is a plus.

Opportunities for advancement may be available through additional
SBIR/STTR-style projects, and industry-supported collaborations.  Further, in
addition to the research and development duties of the project, the position
will afford the successful candidate with access to and experience with
QuantumBios industry partners including a number of pharmaceutical, biotech,
and computational firms.

Interested candidates should submit at their earliest convenience their CV, one
or two representative publications, and a cover letter capturing the following
items:

* Outline of the types of structures you have worked with and your experiences
in the field.
* Summary your method research and software development experiences to date.
* Also, will you require sponsorship to legally work for a for-profit company in
the US and when will you be available?
