[3dem] Postdoc in University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh, PA, USA

[Ying Sun]

Dear Colleagues,

Postdoctoral positions are available in Dr. Stella Y. Sun's lab in the
Department of Structural Biology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA (
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sunlab.structbio.pitt.edu/__;!!Mih3wA!FncfN2HxduYW3boyYysfhaB3DcAAX5bJjd35rSXznPgEI363GGgmeFMUysHikjfK082Lsd9_FTvxXKvR00A7h2k$ ).



We are seeking an enthusiastic postdoctoral fellow to study the
cytoskeleton-driven cell motility process, nucleus complex biogenesis in
human parasites that lead to infectious diseases (including but not limited
to malaria parasites and *Trypanosoma brucei*) by using molecular and cell
biology and the cutting-edge cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) with allied
techniques such as cryo-FIB-SEM. Our laboratory is fully equipped for all
aspects of molecular and cellular biology and has direct access to Titan
Krios 3Gi, focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy (cryo-FIB-SEM)
Aquilos2 (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.structbio.pitt.edu/index.php/facilities/cryoem__;!!Mih3wA!FncfN2HxduYW3boyYysfhaB3DcAAX5bJjd35rSXznPgEI363GGgmeFMUysHikjfK082Lsd9_FTvxXKvRGeO1A-E$ ), and
other instrumentation in core facilities (
https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.researchimaging.pitt.edu/content/center-biologic-imaging__;!!Mih3wA!FncfN2HxduYW3boyYysfhaB3DcAAX5bJjd35rSXznPgEI363GGgmeFMUysHikjfK082Lsd9_FTvxXKvREfUKWy0$ ).



The position will involve 1) important biological processes including but
not limited to organelle biogenesis through cryo-ET 2) imaging method
development of cryo-ET, cryo-FIB-SEM for their applications. We are also
interested in cell biologist who are looking to develop expertise in
cryo-ET, or structural biologists who are looking to develop expertise in
cryo-ET, cryo-FIB-SEM or cell biology.




*Expectations or Standards*



Ph.D. or equivalent in either cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology,
structural biology, biophysics fields. This position is subject to the
University's background check policy.

Interested applicants should send your application package (a full CV and a
cover letter of your research interest, and the contact information of 2 or
3 referees) to Dr. Stella Y. Sun, stellasun at pitt.edu with subject <Postdoc
