Seeking a 2nd Keck Fellow in Cryo-EM at UCSF

[David A. Agard]

Dear 3D EM community members:

Applications are now being solicited for the appointment of a second 
Keck Imaging Fellow specializing in single particle cryo Electron 
Microscopy at the new Mission Bay campus of the University of 
California, San Francisco. The goal is to bring talented independent 
young scientists whose research is at the forefront of cryo electron 
microscopy and/or single particle image analysis into our diverse and 
interactive research community.  Keck Fellows pursue their research 
without the obligations of faculty membership or the constraints of a 
conventional postdoctoral fellowship.  Thus, the Fellows Program 
provides an alternative or a supplement to traditional postdoctoral 
study following the M.D. or Ph.D. degree, and an opportunity to 
establish a creative and successful research program prior to 
obtaining a faculty position.

	Keck Fellows receive a salary, start-up funds and annual 
research funding. They may seek extramural funds to support research 
groups of 2-4 members.   Fellowships are nonrenewable, with a maximum 
term of four years.

	Candidates must submit a letter from a mentor or other 
advisor who can comment in depth on the candidate's accomplishments 
and potential.  In addition, the application should contain the 
candidate's curriculum vitae, a brief research plan, 1 or 2 reprints 
and at least two additional reference letters. The deadline for 
applications is March 1, 2005. Applications should be sent to 
attention of:

	Dr. David A. Agard
	Chair, Keck Fellows Steering Committee

The Keck Fellows Program for Imaging is sponsored by the Keck Center 
for Advanced Microscopy at UCSF and the W.M. Keck Foundation. The 
University of California is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Women and 
underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply.
