Special opportunity: Independent Keck Fellow in CryoEM at UCSF now available

[David A. Agard]

Dear 3D EM community members:
Can you please bring this exciting opportunity to the attention of 
relevant young scientists?
Thanks so much
David


Applications are now being solicited for a second Keck Imaging Fellow 
specializing in experimental or computational aspects of 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.  Prestigious Keck 
Fellows can pursue their independent 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.

	UCSF is well equipped for state-of-the-art cryoEM. In 
addition to a 200kV FEI T20 with 4kx4k Gatan UltraScan camera, we 
have an FEI Polara 300kV FEG, helium stage microscope with Gatan 
Tridiem Imaging Energy Filter, and a unique 4kx4k UltaCam 
lens-coupled CCD camera providing best possible on-line image 
acquisition. Computer clusters, VitroBot, high pressure freezing, 
cryo sectioning capabilities are also available.

	Candidates must submit  a CV, 3 letters of reference, a brief 
research plan, and 1 or 2 reprints.  Applications should be sent to 
attention of:

	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.
