POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN DYNAMIC TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY

MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY/CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND MATERIALS
SCIENCE DEPARTMENT, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-DAVIS, DAVIS CA 95616. USA

A postdoctoral position is currently available to work on an NIH  
funded project to develop the dynamic TEM to study live biological  
processes.  This DTEM project at UC-Davis aims to couple high time  
resolution (microseconds to nanoseconds) to high spatial resolution  
by using a pulsed photoemission source for the microscope.  This  
development has already seen advances in in- situ studies of phase  
transformations and the current postdoctoral position aims to expand  
the area of research for the DTEM into the biological sciences.   
Successful candidates will be recent Ph.D. graduates in physics,  
chemistry, biology, or materials science with a sound background in  
the relevant instrumentation issues and an ambition to be part of a  
developing program pushing at the frontiers of structural biology.   
Prior experience in high resolution TEM/STEM, cryo-EM or in-situ TEM  
is essential.   However, consideration will be based on the  
candidates overall potential for success in the field and applicants  
with prior experience in related fields are encouraged to apply.   
Salary is commensurate with experience and is determined within the  
UC-Davis standard pay scales for postdoctoral appointees.  Further  
information on the postdoctoral positions can be obtained by  
contacting Dr. Nigel D. Browning (nbrowning at ucdavis.edu) or Dr. James  
Evans (jeevans at ucdavis.edu).
