Hola Zulma, Encontre esta posicion postodoctoral en Naturejobs. Quizas te sirva. Saludos, Diego UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD Department of Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSISTANT Grade 7: Salary £28,983 – £35,646 p.a. Post Ref. DH10008/KV Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to work under the supervision of Dr Kylie Vincent on a research project funded by the European Research Council. The post is for a period of 2 years in the first instance, with the possibility of an extension for up to a further 3 years. The project involves development and application of surface Infrared spectroelectrochemical approaches for studying mechanistic details of hydrogen cycling catalysis by hydrogenase enzymes. The post is based within a vibrant, growing research team who are employing physical methods to tackle a wide range of problems in biological inorganic chemistry. The post is available from February 2011 or soon as possible thereafter. Applicants should either already have a PhD in Chemistry or a relevant subject area, or have submitted their thesis prior to taking up the post. The applicant should have a strong background in physical electrochemical and/or spectroscopic methods, and creativity and enthusiasm for pursuing technical developments to address important challenges in biological and energy related catalysis. The group is located in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory at Oxford, see http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/icl. Find out more about the Vincent research group at http://vincent.chem.ox.ac.uk/. The post will be based in the Inorganic Chemistry, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, OX1 3QR. For further particulars of the post, including how to apply, visit our website http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/jobs.asp. These should be obtained before an application is made. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr Kylie Vincent at (kylie.vincent@chem.ox.ac.uk). Please quote reference DH10008/KV in all correspondence. The closing date for applications is 9 January 2011.

Estimada Zulma..... La gran mayoria de los investigadores en USA tienen fondos disponibles para hacer el post doc. Asi que como indican los compañeros, lo primero que tienes que hacer es que ya cuando sepas con anticipacion cuando te vas a graduar, escribe a los profesores con quien tu quisieras invertir 2 o mas años de tu vida. Esto es como un matrimonio, asi que con la persona que trabajes, te debe gustar lo que investiga. Luego, si quieres independizarte un poco, puedes buscar fondos que en muchos casos dependen del area en la cual estes trabajando. Por ejemplo, la American Heart Association ofrece becas para estudios relacionados en el area cardiovascular. Asi que todo dependera de que enfoque le daras a tu post doc en quimica. Otro mecanismo que puedes explorar son los Minority Fellowships de NIH o los grants F31 Ruth L. Kirschstein fellowships. Si eres del area de fisica, ingenieria o quimica, hay un fellowship de NSF que te puede pagar tu post doc. Otra opcion es hacer un post doc en la industria o en un lab nacional. Estos son cheveres por que siempre estan con lo ultimo en tecnologia y pagan super. Para buscar estas posiciones ve por ejemplo a la pagina web de los laboratorios nacionales (ie Sandia, Argonne o Lawrence Berkeley) o ve a las paginas de las industrias grandes como Pfizer, Novartis, etc. Ahi puedes obtener mucha info. Suerte.... ML
