[3dem] Job opening for a post-doctoral research fellow in the cryo-EM facility of the European Synchrotron, ESRF, France

[Gregory Effantin]

Dear Colleagues,

I'd like to draw your attention to a job opening for a *post-doctoral
research fellow in the cryo-EM facility of the European Synchrotron, ESRF,
France*

CM01 is the ESRF’s cryo-EM facility dedicated to performing high-resolution
imaging of biological macromolecules, particularly for the structural
analysis of large, difficult to crystallize, protein-protein or
protein-nucleic acid complexes. CM01 has been designed to complement, and
create synergy with, the existing ESRF macromolecular crystallography and
BioSAXS beamlines and it is operated as a joint effort from the four
institutes (ESRF, EMBL, IBS and ILL) located on the EPN campus. CM01 is
equipped with a Krios G3 microscope and state-of-the-art K3 direct electron
detector and a GATAN LS Quantum energy filter. CM01 offers single particle
analysis (SPA) to users worldwide, and in the near future cryo-electron
tomography (cryo-ET) as well. For more details on CM01, click here
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.esrf.fr/CM01__;!!Mih3wA!DEFoQcpTa9oVtGiOq02FW3Ml2Gu7VHL-PHIBKXuotCg4Purxq52ejXOz8r8qmW8S3v9TEDtAUrxCGvsW_cm_GFgJlg$ >.

The postdoctoral position available will focus on the method development in
areas important for CM01 notably in SPA data analysis and cryo-ET. As for
all postdoctoral researchers in the Structural Biology Group, the
successful candidate will contribute to the operation of CM01 and will
provide support to external users as local contact. Furthermore, the
selected candidate will also participate in a research program aimed at the
structural characterization of the non-structural proteins of coronavirus
and in particular of SARS-CoV2. The research project focuses on the
molecular mechanisms of three non-structural proteins in viral replication
by employing an integrative structural biology approach, including cryo-ET
and SPA.

For direct inquiries, please contact Eaazhisai Kandiah (
eaazhisai.kandiah at esrf.fr).

*Expected profile*

   - PhD in biophysics, biology or closely related science obtained less
   than 3 years ago
   - A strong background in cryo-EM
   - A strong interest in method development for cryo-EM
   - Background in structural biology and protein production is desirable
   - Knowledge of membrane proteins is an asset
   - Ability to interact with multi-disciplinary staff and facility users
   - Proficiency in English (working language at the ESRF)
