Hi everyone,

I am currently seeking a postdoctoral fellow to work on cryo-EM methods 
development.

My lab has recently made exciting progress in cryo-EM methods 
development, manifesting in the cryoSPARC software package 
(http://cryosparc.com).  Building on this recent progress, a successful 
postdoc would develop new methods for cryo-EM.  The specific topic would 
depend on the candidate's strengths and interests but possible options 
include: structural flexibility, cryo-ET, validation and automation. 
This work would be done in collaboration with the Rubinstein Lab at The 
Hospital for Sick Children located nearby.

Qualified applicants must have a PhD in a related subject area, 
programming skills, a solid mathematical background (including 
multivariate calculus, linear algebra and probability) and knowledge of 
computational methods for cryo-EM.  Experience with methods in computer 
vision, machine learning, etc are a plus but not required.

The position is for up to two years and includes a research allowance 
and travel budget.  Salaries start at $55k/year.  This is funded through 
a VISTA Postdoctoral Fellowship [1] and final offers are contingent on a 
successful application.

Interested candidates should email their CVs, a brief statement of 
research interests and the contact information of two or three 
references to: mab at eecs.yorku.ca  Applications should be received by 
August 28th, 2017 to be fully considered.

Cheers,
Marcus Brubaker
