[3dem] postdoctoral position in electron tomography

[Marisa Otegui]

University of Wisconsin at Madison



Postdoctoral Opening on Electron Tomography of Virus-Induced Membrane Rearrangements


A highly motivated individual is sought for a post-doctoral position to use electron microscope tomography in studies of membrane remodeling in HIV and positive-strand RNA virus replication. These studies will integrate advanced, three-dimensional electron tomographic imaging with molecular genetics, biochemistry and other approaches in a collaboration between the Morgridge Institute for Research and the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in cell biology, microbiology, biochemistry or a related field and proven experience in electron microscopy. Experience with electron tomography is highly desirable, and experience with cryo-electron microscopy is also valued. Excellent written and oral presentation skills and the ability to work collaboratively with others are expected.
The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team including virologists, cell biologists, biochemists and biophysicists in a well-equipped, dynamic and interactive research environment on the campus of the UW-Madison, a world-class academic institution with an international reputation for innovative basic and applied research. Nationally,
 UW-Madison ranks third among all U.S. universities for research and development expenditures, exceeding $1.0 billion annually. Madison also ranks among the 'best places to live in the US' and post-docs thrive on its diversity of outdoor and cultural opportunities. For more information, please visit the following websites:
