[3dem] Two EM positions at the Wadsworth Center, Albany

[Rajendra Agrawal]

We are seeking to hire two qualified individuals to fill positions in 
3D electron microscopy at the Wadsworth Center, Albany, New York.

Position 1: This position will emphasize computational methods 
development in the area of single-particle image processing that lead 
to improvements in 3D cryo-EM structure determination or 
time-resolved dynamics of biological macro-molecules.

Position 2: This position will develop and apply cryo-EM tomography 
methods to address relevant biomedical questions in Cell Biology.

Candidates will have established, or plan to establish, a vigorous 
externally funded research program, and will be enthusiastic about 
forging collaborations with other scientists at the center.

The Wadsworth Center enjoys a century of excellence as a 
research-intensive institution and is the country's most 
comprehensive state public health laboratory 
(<http://www.wadsworth.org/>www.wadsworth.org).  The Center provides 
a highly interactive research environment with a longstanding 
emphasis on microscopy, and is the home of the NIH Resource for the 
Visualization of Biological Complexity.  The Center also has an 
academic affiliation with the University at Albany.

Wadsworth scientists receive competitive start-up packages and have 
access to outstanding core facilities that include state-of-the-art 
cryo-electron microscopes, ancillary equipment, and substantial image 
processing capabilities, including access to super-computing 
resources. In addition, we are in the process of procuring a new 300 
kV field emission cryo EM.

Albany, the capital of the New York State, offers an attractive 
cost-of-living, a vibrant academic community, and diverse cultural 
and outdoor activities.

CVs and three letters of recommendation should be sent to 
<mailto:emsearch at wadsworth.org>emsearch at wadsworth.org. Consideration 
of completed applications will begin on February 15, 2008.

The ad for the same positions will also appear in Dec 14, 2007 issue 
of Science. I would appreciate if you circulate this message among 
your eligible colleagues and also display it on appropriate notice boards.

The Wadsworth Center is an equal opportunity affirmative action employer.

Thank you.
