[3dem] Post-doctoral position in biological cryoEM software development

Fri Jul 14 00:22:25 PDT 2023

Dear community,

There is still time to apply for a postdoctoral researcher position at eBIC in cryo-EM data analysis software development. Please, share with people who might be interested. At this point, we would consider people with strong software development skills, but who might have little or no cryo-EM experience, which we can help with. Obviously, applicants with strengths in both topics will be prioritised.

Electron Bio-Imaging Centre at Diamond Light Source Ltd has a postdoctoral position available for development of novel concepts and software tools for cryo-Electron Microscopy data analysis. If you have a PhD or equivalent in mathematics, computational sciences, physics, biophysics or other relevant fields and are interested in novel software development for cryo-EM, please apply via following link before the 30th of July (BST time):
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://vacancies.diamond.ac.uk/vacancy/pdra-in-biological-cryo-em-software-development-528794.html__;!!Mih3wA!Gt_tqt4Tm01ZFWzKCOUwhMAdA60b_bOsTYkly5jiWlm2F8xB4tgVseeFBI2L3GKgRLdcP_t5x7yMCRbqgxm9irz-VmQHP3Q$ 

eBIC is the UK national centre for cryoEM data acquisition, providing free of charge access to the-state-of-the-art instruments for the UK and international academic users. In collaboration with other scientists, we strive to develop efficient on-the-fly data processing pipelines for user benefit (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.diamond.ac.uk/Instruments/Biological-Cryo-Imaging/eBIC.html__;!!Mih3wA!Gt_tqt4Tm01ZFWzKCOUwhMAdA60b_bOsTYkly5jiWlm2F8xB4tgVseeFBI2L3GKgRLdcP_t5x7yMCRbqgxm9irz-c0KAzEQ$ ). eBIC is part of Diamond Light Source Ltd (Diamond)- the UK national synchrotron radiation source (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.diamond.ac.uk/Home.html__;!!Mih3wA!Gt_tqt4Tm01ZFWzKCOUwhMAdA60b_bOsTYkly5jiWlm2F8xB4tgVseeFBI2L3GKgRLdcP_t5x7yMCRbqgxm9irz-T2WxnA8$ ), located in collaboration stimulating scientific environment of Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, UK (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.harwellcampus.com__;!!Mih3wA!Gt_tqt4Tm01ZFWzKCOUwhMAdA60b_bOsTYkly5jiWlm2F8xB4tgVseeFBI2L3GKgRLdcP_t5x7yMCRbqgxm9irz-SQHeW4Y$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.harwellcampus.com/__;!!Mih3wA!Gt_tqt4Tm01ZFWzKCOUwhMAdA60b_bOsTYkly5jiWlm2F8xB4tgVseeFBI2L3GKgRLdcP_t5x7yMCRbqgxm9irz-LUGKWs0$ > ).

The work on this project will be carried out in close collaboration with Diamond data analysis group, STFC Scientific Machine learning, and CCPEM groups. It will complement and enhance the work undertaken as part of the recently awarded pan-European INFRAtech fragment screening and automation grant aimed at super-charging structure led drug discovery.

 About You

You should have a PhD degree or equivalent and have experience in algorithm design and programming for scientific data analysis.

You will need to demonstrate a track record in conducting high quality original research. Knowledge and research experience in using statistical methods and machine learning for data analysis are essential. Experience with image processing and cryoEM/ET data analysis is desirable but not strictly necessary.

For further information about this role please contact Yuriy Chaban (yuriy.chaban at diamond.ac.uk<mailto:yuriy.chaban at diamond.ac.uk>).

Benefits

Diamond offers an exceptional benefits package to support staff in achieving a positive work/life balance.
