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,
