Dear Sir,
I am interested in a position working in protein crystallography. I will be finishing my Ph.D. at Brandeis University this year. Because of my association with the laboratory of Professor Carolyn Cohen, I am familiar with nearly every aspect of protein crystallographic methodology. I am an author of three protein structure papers, one in Structure, one in the PNAS, and one in preparation. I really love data collection, solving structures, and crystallographic refinement.
I have played a key support role at Brandeis which included the installation and maintenance of several x-ray cameras. I am a Supper Mirror consultant, and have assisted in several installations of these mirrors, including alignment, parameterization, and testing. I have had the Brandeis Detector Group at my side, and with the help of Marty Stanton and Walter Phillips, I have written an oscillation camera driver and a CCD image checking routine in C and Fortran. Together, Marty and I modified our local copy of MOSFLM for automatic non-uniformity and spatial correction and so on. I solved my first structure with the first camera that we installed.
Finally, I'm a good and patient teacher. Please consider me for any position in protein crystallography or any other technology mentioned in my resume.
Regards,
Michael L. Love
