[3dem] Postdoc positions available at UCSF

[Southworth, Daniel]

Postdoctoral positions in cryo-EM are available in the Southworth Lab at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (IND), University of California, San Francisco.
The positions involve interdisciplinary and collaborative research projects using high-resolution cryo-EM to determine the structure and function of molecular chaperone complexes and disaggregases, as well as the structure and self-assembly mechanisms of prion proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases. The IND cryo-EM resources at the UCSF Mission Bay campus include a 300 keV FEI Titan Krios with phase plate, energy filter and Gatan K3, and a recently-purchased 200 keV FEI Glacios with autoloader and Gatan K3. As a part of UCSF Center for Advanced Cryo-EM, additional state-of-the-art cryo-EM resources are available including a Titan Krios and Talos Arctica. The appointee will be a part of a highly innovative research and training environment at UCSF with opportunities to present work and interact routinely with world-class IND investigators and cryo-EM community.
The qualified candidate should have a PhD with expertise in biochemistry and structural biology including cryo-EM and/or crystallography. Interested applicants should contact Dr. Southworth and provide a cover letter with background and research interests, a CV, and contact info for 3 references.
