[3dem] Post-doc position in Paris

[Slavica Jonic]

*Postdoctoral Scientist Position
*
A postdoctoral position is available at the University Pierre and Marie 
Curie in the centre of Paris. The research will involve development of 
novel methodologies for single particle analysis in the presence of 
conformational heterogeneity, in close collaboration with 
experimentalists and modelers.The software will be ported within the 
Xmipp software suite (http://xmipp.cnb.csic.es) using Python, C++, and 
MPI parallelization.

Depending on your skills, you will carry out research using 
computational methods and/or design and perform electron microscopy data 
collection experiments. You will be highly motivated and have a PhD in 
computational biology, physics, mathematics, electrical engineering, 
structural biology, bioinformatics or other related fields, strong 
background in image processing for three-dimensional electron 
microscopy, good communication and collaborativeskills, and a strong 
analytical mind. You should have experience in scientific programming 
(C++, Python, Perl)for image processing methods development or in 
experimental electron microscopy with an interest in methods 
development. Operating as part of a small, dynamic team, you will be 
encouraged to think creatively and collaborate with several laboratories 
from leading research institutions such as CNRS, CEA Saclay, Ecole 
Polytechnique, Institut Curie, CNB-CSIC (Spain), and University of Oxford.

The successful candidate will be awarded a 1 year postdoctoral position 
with the possibility for further extension. Young post-docs are strongly 
encouraged to apply (gross monthly salary including social securityis 
2,500 EUR for less than 2 years of experience after PhD).The successful 
candidatewill be encouraged to apply as soon as possible for a young 
researcher permanent positionat the French national research center CNRS 
if he/she wants to join our team on a permanent basis and we will help 
him/her to prepare the application. Both French and non-French-speaking 
candidates are encouraged to apply.

We are "Structure and Dynamics of Proteins" group at the IMPMC(Institut 
de Minéralogie et de Physique des Milieux Condensés) that is a mixed 
unity composed of the personnel from the CNRS, the University Pierre et 
Marie Curie - Paris 6, and the University Denis Diderot - Paris 7. Our 
research activities include high-resolution structure determination by 
single-particle cryo-EM and electron crystallography, and development of 
new methodologies for single-particle image analysis and modeling. We 
are equipped with a JEOL 200kV FEG (JEM-2100F) and a JEOL 200kV LaB6 
(JEM-2100) featuring cryo capabilities, energy filtration, STEM, 2K and 
4K Gatan CCDs, two Digitizer Nikon Coolscan 8000 ED and 9000 ED, a 
film-handling robot for Nikon Digitizer, an automated cryo-plunger with 
a controlled environment and an AMD Opteron cluster. A ZEISS Ultra 55 
FEG SEM and a ZEISS Neon 40Esb FEG FIB are also present at our 
laboratory. The laboratory possess the equipment necessary for 
expression and purification of soluble and membrane proteins. We have a 
regular access to two French supercomputer centres IDRIS (Orsay) and 
CINES (Montpellier).
