UCSF</title></head><body>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Dear 3D EM community
members:</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Applications are now being
solicited for the appointment of a second Keck Imaging Fellow<i>
specializing in single particle cryo Electron Microscopy</i> at the
new Mission Bay campus of the University of California, San Francisco.
The goal is to bring talented independent young scientists whose
research is at the forefront of cryo electron microscopy and/or single
particle image analysis into our diverse and interactive research
community. Keck Fellows pursue their research without the
obligations of faculty membership or the constraints of a conventional
postdoctoral fellowship. Thus, the Fellows Program provides an
alternative or a supplement to traditional postdoctoral study
following the M.D. or Ph.D. degree, and an opportunity to establish a
creative and successful research program prior to obtaining a faculty
position.<br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Keck Fellows receive a salary, start-up funds and
annual research funding. They may seek extramural funds to support
research groups of 2-4 members. Fellowships are
nonrenewable, with a maximum term of four years.<br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Candidates must submit a letter from a mentor or other
advisor who can comment in depth on the candidate's accomplishments
and potential. In addition, the application should contain the
candidate's curriculum vitae, a brief research plan, 1 or 2 reprints
and at least two additional reference letters. The deadline for
applications is<b> March 1, 2005</b>. Applications should be sent to
attention of:<br>
