Hello,<br class="">
<br class="">
The Metskas lab at Purdue University is hiring! We use a combination of fluorescence spectroscopy, cryo electron tomography, and cryo CLEM to study complex ultrastructures in viruses and bacteria related to human illness. We have positions available for a
lab manager/technician and a postdoctoral fellow.<br class="">
<br class="">
Postdoctoral fellow: The postdoc will initially focus on membrane fusion studies, and may also be involved in methods development in cryo CLEM. PhD in biophysics or a related field. Relevant skills: advanced fluorescence spectroscopy or microscopy, intermediate-level scripting,
cryo electron microscopy/tomography, FIB milling, single-particle fusion assays, virology, and/or computational simulations. Prior experience in cryo EM/ET is helpful but not required. Please email me directly for more information.<br class="">
<br class="">
Technician: This position is a combination of lab manager and research technician. Looking for someone with a degree in life sciences, at least 1 year of laboratory experience in basic molecular biology, strong organizational skills and a good team member.
Additional skills relevant to our lab, such as eukaryotic cell culture, EM, etc. are very welcome. Salary scales with relevant experience; US work authorization not sponsored for this position.
