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 Professor Nigel D. Browning 
(nbrowning at ucdavis.edu) or Dr. James Evans (jeevans at ucdavis.edu).
