[3dem] looking for postdocs interested in bacterial immune systems

[Blake Wiedenheft]

Dear scientists,



We’re looking for 2-5 postdocs that are humble, hungry, and smart.



Prior experience with structural biology (x-ray or EM), computational
biology (genomics, transcriptomics or phylogenetics), biochemistry and/or
molecular biology is helpful.



If you're most creative under the shadow of mountains and most interested
in discovering new bacterial immune systems, then Bozeman Montana might be
a good place to continue your training.

Please send a short note to bwiedenehft at gmail.com explaining what you want
from a postdoc, what you bring, and where you want to go.



Thanks,
