[3dem] Cryo-FIB/SEM & Cryo-ET Post-Doctoral Opportunities in New York

[Anthony Fitzpatrick]

The Fitzpatrick lab, a member of the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior
Institute at Columbia University, has multiple openings for postdoctoral
research associates to lead projects combining serial-section electron
microscopy, correlative light/electron microscopy, advanced cryo-focused
ion beam specimen preparations, cryo-electron tomography and 3D
processing/subtomogram averaging of neurons, glia, and human brain tissue.



Situated in the heart of Manhattan, the Zuckerman Institute houses sixty
laboratories employing a broad range of interdisciplinary approaches to
transform our understanding of the mind and brain. In this highly
collaborative environment, labs work together to gain critical insights
into human health by exploring how the brain develops, performs, endures
and recovers from trauma or disease.

Members of the lab will have access to a state-of-the-art suite of electron
microscopes and computing resources:



Titan Krios microscope(s) with Gatan BioQuantum energy filter and K3 Summit
direct electron detector



Aquilos cryo-FIB/SEM microscope and a Leica cryo-correlative fluorescence
light microscope (Fitzpatrick Lab)



Nova Nano SEM and a Zeiss SIM/PALM super-resolution light microscope
(Fitzpatrick Lab)



NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti GPU cluster (Fitzpatrick Lab)


We are looking for outstanding scientists who have a strong background in
biophysics, biochemistry or neuroscience. Prior cryo-EM/electron tomography
experience is considered an advantage, but is not essential.


If you’re interested in joining our lab, please send your CV with a brief
description of your current research, as well as 2-3 contacts for
references, to anthony.fitzpatrick at columbia.edu.
