EM appointments at Leeds University, UK

[John Trinick]

Three positions in electron microscopy are available in the Astbury 
Centre for Structural Molecular Biology at Leeds University. Two 
posts are for post-docs to do single molecule microscopy and are for 
two years in the first instance, but may be extended. One post 
involves work on the myosin-actin contractile system. The other is a 
new project on the exocyst complex.

The third post is for three years in the first instance and is likely 
to become permanent. This is for a high level technician whose main 
task will to look after a new FEG microscope, including teaching new 
users.

For all three posts EM experience, including familiarity with cryo-EM 
sample preparation and single particle reconstruction methods, is 
desirable. However, training will be given where necessary. 
Applications from other relevant disciplines such as materials 
science are also invited. Salary will be commensurate with experience.

The EM facility at Leeds has 5 TEMs, including a Tecnai F20 
cryo-microscope with 4k CCD camera currently being installed. EM work 
at Leeds is specialised in high resolution  microscopy of proteins 
and single particle image processing. We also have expertise in 
time-resolved cryo-EM of proteins.

Leeds University  has one of the largest and most vigorous structural 
biology groups in UK. The University is large (25000 undergraduates) 
and Leeds is a thriving city. The surrounding countryside is 
outstandingly beautiful.
