Dear All,<br>
<br>
We are looking for an electron microscopist, structural biologist,
computational image processor or biochemist for structural studies of
yeast prion fibrils using cryo-EM and single-particle image
processing. Please see the formal advert below, and bring to the
attention of anyone in your labs who may be interested.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Neil Ranson<br>

post, funded by the BBSRC, is available immediately for a fixed term
of three years in Dr Neil Ranson’s lab working on cryo-electron
microscopy and image reconstruction of yeast prions. Experience of
cryo-electron microscopy and three-dimensional image processing of
helical or single particle specimens is highly desirable. Data will
be acquired using an FEI TF-20 microscope fitted with a 4k CCD camera
and Gif2002 energy filter. Image processing will be performed using
SPIDER, Imagic and EMAN within a state-of-the-art LINUX computing
environment including a 150-processor cluster, and numerous
distributed servers and graphics workstations. A PhD in structural
biology, electron microscopy, biochemistry, image processing or a
related area, and experience with and the ability to use technically
sophisticated equipment are essential.</font></font></p>
