Scientist Position in Cryo-Electron Microscopy for Cancer Research
 

The Princess Margaret Research Institute at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (PM) in Toronto is seeking candidates who have an outstanding research track record using cryo-EM for a position at the level of Scientist.  Highly productive and internationally regarded applicants may also be considered at the Senior Scientist level.  Applicants must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree(s) (or equivalent), >2 years of post-doctoral experience, and a proven track record, as evinced by high-impact publications.
