[3dem] Research Associate for 4D Cryo-EM Methodology Development

[Marin van Heel]

4D cryo-EM Methodology Development

We are seeking to recruit a Research Associate with extensive experience 
in single-particle data processing/ methodology development, to join 
Professor Marin van Heel’s group 
(http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/people/m.vanheel) which is affiliated with 
the Centre of Structural Biology at Imperial College London. This is an 
international centre of excellence, providing state-of-the-art 
facilities and an ideal environment for scientists embarking on a career 
in research. We have a number of advanced transmission electron 
microscopes available in house, including a CM 200 FEG, CM 300 FEG and 
two T12 instruments. Resources are available for access to two 300kV 
KRIOS instruments, which will be installed later this year at NeCEN, a 
newly established cryo-EM centre at Leiden University in the Netherlands 
(http://www.necen.nl/) <http://www.necen.nl/%29>. Our recently installed 
MPI parallel computer, available exclusively for this project, features 
580 cores.

You will originally be based at the South Kensington Campus of Imperial 
College London (Flowers Building). You must hold a PhD or equivalent 
qualification in a relevant discipline including, Physics, Biochemistry 
or Mathematics, and have experience with transmission electron 
microscopes. Experience with data processing in structural biology, 
preferably in single-particle cryo-EM, is essential.

The successful candidate must be able to work independently, and must 
have excellent verbal, organisational and written skills. The ability to 
organise your own work with minimal supervision, and the ability to 
creatively develop and apply new concepts, techniques and methods are 
essential.

This position, funded by the BBSRC, is available immediately until 31 
July 2012. Extension of the position with a further 18 months is subject 
to further funding.

Our preferred method of application is online via our website

I receive many emails per day and, although I try, there is no guarantee that I will actually read each incoming email. Moreover,
Imperial College Spam filters can be strikt and sometimes
make legitimate emails disappear (try the gmail accounts, alternatively)
