[3dem] postdoc opportunity: cryo-EM on amyloids

[Sjors Scheres]

Dear colleagues,

We have a postdoc opportunity to join the Scheres group at MRC-LMB to 
work on cryo-EM characterisation of brain-derived amyloid filaments of 
tau and alpha-synuclein. This work will be done in close collaboration 
with the Goedert group, also at MRC-LMB. We are looking for a highly 
motivated individual with a strong desire for self-development, who can 
also work well as part of a team. Experience in biophysical/biochemical 
characterisation of amyloid filaments or experience in experimental 
cryo-electron microscopy are not essential, but will be considered 
important advantages.

Closing date: 19 October 2019. Applications need to be made through the 
link below:
