[3dem] Postdoc position at Imperial College London

[Marin van Heel]

*POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE*


We have one postdoctoral position available in our group based at 
Imperial College London.  This BBSRC funded position is initially for 
two years and is aimed at improving single-particle cryo-EM 
methodology.  This position for software and methodology development is 
available immediately! Our grant is for processing huge data sets of 
biological molecules containing a mixture of functional / structural 
states. We study different biological systems including small (~100k) 
molecules, ribosomes and icosahedral viruses. Candidates with a 
background in cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, physics, chemistry, 
biology, computer sciences, mathematics, or other related fields are 
encouraged to apply. A sharp analytical mind and the ability to work in 
a team are essential. Programming experience is required, preferably in 
Fortran and/or ‘C’.


My group has a long track record in methodology development and many of 
the now standard procedures in single-particle cryo-EM stem originally 
from us including: MSA classification; projection matching; angular 
reconstitution. We are looking for a creative team member who will 
contribute to the current rapid methodological developments in 4D 
cryo-EM (Klaholz et al, Nature 2004; van Heel et al, “Imagic 4D”; 
Intern. Table for Crystallography. Vol. F, 2010. see: 
http://www.single-particles.org).


Data collection will take place on our own suites of CBEM microscopes 
(CM300-LiHe-FEG/CM200-FEG/T12), on Holger Stark’s KRIOS in Göttingen; 
and the KRIOS instrument to be installed in Leiden University (The 
Netherlands) later this year. A computer cluster equipped with some 600 
CPU cores and 25+Tbyte of disk space is available for our group.

Please send an email including your CV to myself and to my 
administrator (m.vanheel at ic.ac.uk <mailto:m.vanheel at ic.ac.uk> and 
_mvh.office at gmail.com <mailto:mvh.office at gmail.com>_).

Kind regards,

Marin van Heel
