<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Dear 3D EM community
members:</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Can you please bring this
exciting opportunity to the attention of relevant young
scientists?</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Thanks so much</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Applications are now being
solicited for a second Keck Imaging Fellow<i> specializing in
experimental or computational aspects of 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. Prestigious Keck Fellows can pursue their
independent 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.</font></div>

<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.</font></div>

</x-tab>UCSF is well equipped for state-of-the-art cryoEM. In addition
to a 200kV FEI T20 with 4kx4k Gatan UltraScan camera, we have an FEI
Polara 300kV FEG, helium stage microscope with Gatan Tridiem Imaging
Energy Filter, and a unique 4kx4k UltaCam lens-coupled CCD camera
providing best possible on-line image acquisition. Computer clusters,
VitroBot, high pressure freezing, cryo sectioning capabilities are
also available.</font></div>
