[3dem] Postdoctoral Position Available: CNPEM (Campinas, Brazil)

[Marin van Heel]

Dear All,

Associated with our newly established cryo-EM group at the CNPEM 
research laboratory (Campinas, Brazil), we have available a:

*POSTDOCTORAL POSITION *

This position is available for 18 months (extendable to 36 months) and 
is aimed at developing advanced single-particle cryo-EM methodology. The 
position should be filled by the 1^st of September 2017, or earlier if 
possible. (Other positions will become available at a later stage). We 
are looking for a creative and energetic colleague to study 
conformational variations as a means for better understanding the 
mechanisms of action of macromolecular complexes. As a national centre 
we study a variety of biological systems including small molecules 
(<100k), membrane proteins, large complexes, and viruses (Zika, Dengue). 
Candidates with backgrounds in the following fields are encouraged to 
apply: cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, physics, biochemistry, biology, 
computer sciences, mathematics, and/or related fields. A sharp 
analytical mind and the ability to work in a group are essential. 
Programming experience in one or more (parallel) programming languages 
is important for the implementation of new ideas.

Our internationally operating research group has a long track record in 
methodology development (see: 2017 Wiley prize). Many of the standard 
procedures in single-particle cryo-EM stem originally from members of 
our group including: unsupervised classification; parallel MSA; Fourier 
Shell Correlation; projection matching; angular reconstitution; 4D 
cryo-EM, camera normalization; etc..

Data collection will take place on our own suites microscopes which 
currently includes a 200kV FEI Talos + Falcon III, and is expected to be 
extended with 300kV instrumentation with the latest generation of 
direct-electron camera Gatan K3/Falcon III. Access to other 
instrumentation is available through collaborations.

For more information please send an email including your CV to myself 
(_marin.vanheel at gmail.com_with a CC to: mvh.office at gmail.com 
<mailto:mvh.office at gmail.com>). Primary application deadline: June 26^th .

Kind regards,

Marin van Heel
