*Research Fellow
Project Title: *Cryo-electron microscopy of yeast prion fibrils

This post, funded by the BBSRC, is available immediately for a fixed 
term of three years in Dr Neil Ranson's lab working on cryo-electron 
microscopy and image reconstruction of yeast prions. Experience of 
cryo-electron microscopy and three-dimensional image processing of 
helical or single particle specimens is highly desirable. Data will be 
acquired using an FEI TF-20 microscope fitted with a 4k CCD camera and 
Gif2002 energy filter. Image processing will be performed using SPIDER, 
Imagic and EMAN within a state-of-the-art LINUX computing environment 
including a 150-processor cluster, and numerous distributed servers and 
graphics workstations. A PhD in structural biology, electron microscopy, 
biochemistry, image processing or a related area, and experience with 
and the ability to use technically sophisticated equipment are essential.

*University Grade 6 (£21,682-£25,889 p.a) or University Grade 7 (£26,666 
- £31,840pa)*
It is likely that the appointment will be made at or below *£26,666* 
since there are funding limitations which dictate the level at which the 
appointment can start.
