<b>A dream and a job</b>
<p>We had a dream : Vitrifiying a biological tissu, cryo-sectionning
and obseving it with exquisit details by cryo-electron microscopy and reconstructing
it in 3-D at nm resolution (Dubochet at al.1988. Quarter. Rev. Biophys.
21, 129-228). After many years, the dream seems to come true. We think
it will be the next major break through in electron microscopy. See : Dubochet,
J. & Sartori Blanc, N. (2000) Micron 32, 91-99; Studer, D. & Gnaegi,
H. (2000) J. Microsc. 197, 94-100; …and those in press!
<p>The Laboratory for Ultrastructural Analysis at the University of Lausanne
is looking for a
<p>- <b>PhD student </b> ready to learn a demanding technique and
willing to develop it further during a 3-5 years doctoral thesis.
Preliminary experience in cryo-electron microscopy would be an asset but
is not required.
<br><b>or a</b><b></b>
<p>- <b>Post Doctoral scientist</b> experience in cryo-electron microscopy
(but not necessary in cryo-sectioning) desiring to be amoung those who
make the dream become a reality.
<br>The selected candidate will participate in a researche project on cell
membrane dynamics and will continue the work for caracterizing and optimizing
electron microscopy of vitreous sections.
<p>PhD students salary is ca. 37-46 K SFR./year. The post doctoral position
is for 2 years and will be paid ca. 70 K SFR/year. The position is available
now.
