A postdoctoral or junior staff position, with demonstrated experience 
in electron cryo-microscopy, is open in the laboratory of Dr. Timothy 
S. Baker at the University of California - San Diego in the Chemistry 
and Biochemistry Department.

Applications will be accepted from individuals who possess a  degree 
in the Natural Sciences (Ph. D. for postdoctoral position only).  The 
salary and level of the position will be commensurate with the 
candidate's experience and skills.

The research focuses on structure-function studies of macromolecular 
assemblies (primarily viruses) with cryo-TEM and 3D image 
reconstruction techniques.  Highly-motivated candidates with 
significant experience in cryo-TEM and/or cryo-tomography, along with 
experience in image reconstruction and molecular image analysis, are 
encouraged to apply.  See http://cryoem.ucsd.edu/facilities.shtm for 
a description of facilities.  Image processing is performed in-house 
on a three-node Linux cluster housed at the San Diego Supercomputer 
Center, an organized research unit of UCSD.  Additional computations 
are performed using the NSF supported TeraGrid resources.

San Diego is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city, known for its beautiful, 
year-round climate.  The area includes about 70 miles of beaches, and 
water sports such as surfing, snorkeling, kayaking and fishing are 
all very popular.  Winter alpine skiing and the deserts are within a 
couple of hours drive.  The city is home to both the San Diego 
Chargers and the San Diego Padres.  Mexico is close enough for an 
afternoon trip.

Qualified applicants should send a CV that identifies areas of 
expertise and interest, employment history, a publications list, and 
the names and contact information of three, professional references 
to Dr. Timothy S. Baker, Professor of Chemistry/Biochemistry _and 
Molecular Biology, _University of California, San Diego_, 9500 Gilman 
Drive MC-0378, La Jolla, California 92093-0378.  Alternatively, CVs 
may be sent to tsb at ucsd.edu.  See http://cryoem.ucsd.edu for more 
information about the laboratory.
