[3dem] postdoc fellowships in cryo-EM of virus replication

[Lars-Anders Carlson]

Dear all,
Two postdoc fellowships are available in my lab at Umeå University, 
Sweden. The projects aim to decipher the molecular basis of human RNA 
virus replication using cryo-EM (tomography of cells and single particle 
analysis) and in vitro membrane reconstitution.

We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a background in 
structural biology, biophysics, biochemistry or a related field. While 
prior knowledge of cryo-electron microscopy or in vitro reconstitution 
is beneficial, these are the core methods of the lab and we can thus 
also provide a postdoc with in situ training specific to the project.

Umeå has just completed the installation of a new EM facility including 
a Titan Krios with a phase plate, Falcon III, GIF and K2 Summit, a Scios 
FIB/SEM and a Talos 120. Umeå is also an outstanding environment for 
molecular infection biology, including the Nordic EMBL Node MIMS and the 
Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine.

For more information about the projects and how to apply, got to

Feel free to contact me directly with any questions!

Best wishes,
Lars
