[3dem] Call for applications in cryo-electron microscopy

[Franck Fourniol]

Announcement forwarded on behalf of Julie Menetrey, PhD (Laboratoire 
d'Enzymologie et Biochimie Structurales (LEBS) - UPR 3082, CNRS - Avenue 
de la terrasse, 91198 Gif-sur-Yvette Cedex, FRANCE).

Dear colleagues,

The LEBS seeks to recruit one group leader with expertise in structural 
cryo-electron microscopy . His research will focus on understanding the 
architecture and cellular functions of complex molecular assemblies. The 
new groups will join the inter- disciplinary endeavours of the Unit. Our 
goal is to bridge the gap between the structure of macromolecular 
assemblies and their function and dynamics in cells, by having 
structural biologists, biochemists and biophysicists work closely with 
cell biologists on selected topics that are already well represented in 
the Unit, such as the cytoskeleton and membrane traffic.

Additional information can be obtained from the Head of the Laboratory 
Jacqueline Cherfils (cherfils at lebs.cnrs-gif.fr)



How to apply

Please send a detailed CV, 2 letters of recommendation and a cover 
letter describing your research interests and future directions to : 
applications at lebs.cnrs-gif.fr.


More about the Laboratory of Enzymology and Structural Biochemistry

  Researchers at the LEBS combine structural biology, biochemistry, 
biophysics and cell biology methods to understand how macromolecular 
complexes assemble and function in the cell, and apply this knowledge to 
decipher the molecular basis of human diseases. The Unit focuses on 
major cellular functions including cytoskeleton dynamics, membrane 
traffic, signalling and protein homeostasis. It offers access to 
state-of-the-art technologies for protein sciences, including in-house 
equipments (see our Web pages http://www.lebs.cnrs-gif.fr/home.html) and 
local NMR, mass spectrometry, electron microscopy and cell imaging 
facilities (www.imagif.fr). The laboratory is located on the CNRS 
scientific Campus in Gif-sur-Yvette, 45 minutes from the centre of Paris 
by public transportation, and 5 minutes from the SOLEIL Synchrotron 
Radiation Center.
