Positions in UC-Davis available, Stahlberg lab.

[Henning Stahlberg]

Job Announcement:
=================

A new cryo-EM facility will open soon at the University of California 
at Davis, that will initially be shared between the two labs of Holland 
Cheng and Henning Stahlberg.

Several positions are available immediately at the postdoc, graduate 
student and technician level in Henning Stahlberg's lab at UC-Davis.

The focus of the lab will be the structure and function of membrane 
proteins at the atomic level, as well as the organization and complex 
formation of membrane proteins at the cellular level. Lab projects will 
include electron crystallography of two-dimensional crystals of 
membrane proteins, single particle electron microscopy of protein 
complexes as well as electron tomography of frozen hydrated cryo 
sections of cells. The facility will be well equipped, including a 120 
kV TEM, and 200kV and 300kV FEGs, the latter equipped with a Helium 
cooled tilt stage and energy filter. All TEMs will have large Tietz 
CCDs and Tietz tomography software. The facility is intended to house 
regular workshops and engage in method and hardware development.

Post-doctoral scientist and/or graduate students:

Several projects are available in the above mentioned subjects and can 
be adapted to individual interests. Applications from biologists, 
biochemists or physicists with experience in either membrane protein 
purification and crystallization, cryo-electron microscopy, image 
processing or general computer programing are welcomed. Training can 
also be provided.

Biochemistry technician:

An individual with a bachelor's degree in biology or chemistry is 
sought to participate in the installation of the wet-lab. At a later 
stage, this person is expected to assist in membrane protein 
purification and characterization.

Positions are available immediately and will be open until filled.

If you are interested, please send a biographical sketch and names and 
addresses of references to Henning Stahlberg

UC-Davis has a strong tradition in agriculture, biology and medicine. 
The EM-facility will be situated next to a Keck facility for protein 
expression and XRD. Davis is a beautiful, small, friendly and bicycle 
oriented University town, located between the San Francisco/Berkeley 
bay area, Sacramento and the Lake Tahoe skiing area.
