[3dem] postdoc & permanent programmer positions at MRC-LMB

[Sjors Scheres]

Dear colleagues,

At the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, we are looking to fill the 
following positions:

1. A post-doctoral scientist to join the group of Sjors Scheres. Our 
research focuses on the development of new approaches for reliable 
structure determination of relatively small (~100-400 kDa) biological 
macromolecules by cryo-electron microscopy. In this context we are 
looking for someone with a background in experimental electron 
microscopy to investigate the use of DNA-origami tools to obtain 
experimental information about orientations of protein complexes in ice. 
(Closing date: 24 October, 2011)

2. A permanent programmer to be responsible for the development and 
maintenance of the 3D-EM image processing software within the LMB. 
Primary responsibilities will include overseeing the installation and 
updating of the various software packages; teaching and advising 
post-docs and students on image processing problems; and providing 
significant input in collaborations with experimental groups on joint 
research projects. The successful applicant must also be capable of 
independent research, e.g. software development of image processing 
tools. (Closing date: 28 October, 2011)

Please see the following adverts in Nature for more information and 
instructions on how to apply:

PS: Soon we will also be looking for a post-doctoral scientist with a 
computational background to work on algorithm development in my group. 
Interested candidates are welcome to contact me directly for informal 
enquiries. Please keep on eye on the website below for updated information.
