<p class="MsoNormal">A postdoctoral position is available immediately
for a
highly motivated person to study the mechanism of DNA packaging and
release
during the phage life cycle by cryo transmission electron microscopy
(cryoEM)
and single particle analysis. The candidate will work on a 1.5-year,
BBSRC-funded post in the research group of Dr. E.Orlova.<br>
<br>
Preference will be given to individuals with experience in electron
cryo-microscopy of biological samples. Knowledge of bacteriophage and
virus
organization would be an asset. You will join a cooperative team with
good
expertise in analysis of single molecules and helices.<br>
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p><br>
The laboratory is equipped with Tecnai 10, 12, and F20
microscopes, an optical diffractometer, a Zeiss-SCAI densitometer,
workstations
running a variety of software packages for single particle and helical
analysis, as well as good facilities for protein expression,
purification and
sample preparation. The department is well equipped for X-ray
crystallography. </p>
