POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW POSITION on Image Processing
UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work on structures of
macromolecular complexes and assemblies involved in HIV-1 biology (Cell,
139, 780-790, 2009) and bacterial chemotaxis using cryo-EM methods.  The
position will involve solving high-profile structures using single particle,
helical/single particle and tomography methods. Requirements for this
position include experience with Linux/Unix machines, programming skills in
C/C++, JAVA, Python, and UNIX/Linux Shell Scripting. Experience in cryoEM
image processing, particular with EMAN and Spider software packages would be
a plus.

Motivated candidate with strong computational skills and research experience
in image processing are all encouraged to apply.  Interested candidates
should send an application, including a CV, areas of expertise and
interests, publications list, and names and contact information for 3
references to

Our laboratory is within the newly established Dept. of Structural Biology,
fully equipped for all aspects of molecular biology and protein biochemistry
and has direct access to FEI Polara 300kv with a helium stage, TF20 FEG,
both with high-resolution 4kx4k CCD cameras, T12spirit with 2kx2k camera,
and FEI vitrobot.  The laboratory also has access to the protein expression
and purification facilities, state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers and X-ray
crystallography instrumentation, as well as the many biophysical, imaging
and computing resources including a Beowulf cluster within the department.
