[3dem] Postdoctoral position available on cryo-EM and electron tomography

[Marisa Otegui]

A postdoctoral position is available at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to work on electron tomography and cryo-electron microscopy of membrane deformation mechanisms mediated by ESCRT proteins. The postdoctoral researcher will work as part of a multidisciplinary team integrated by cell biologists, biophysicists, and virologists to understand structural aspects of ESCRT-mediated membrane budding in multiple organisms/systems, including plants, worms, and mammalian cultured cells. The project entails imaging of plastic and vitreous sections of plant and animal tissues by electron tomography. 
Applicants must have a Ph.D. and proven experience in the field of electron microscopy, electron tomography, and cryo-electron microscopy. Experience with vitreous sectioning and single particle analysis is desirable. Excellent written and oral skills and the ability to work collaboratively with others are required.
