Opening
 
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
