Dear 3D EM community members:
Can you please bring this exciting opportunity to the attention of
relevant young scientists?
Thanks so much
David
Applications are now being solicited for a second Keck Imaging Fellow
specializing in experimental or computational aspects of cryo
Electron Microscopy 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.
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.
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.
Candidates must submit a CV, 3 letters of reference, a brief
research plan, and 1 or 2 reprints. Applications should be sent to
attention of:

The Keck Fellows Program for Imaging is sponsored by the Keck Center
for Advanced Microscopy at UCSF and the W.M. Keck Foundation. The
University of California is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Women and
underrepresented minorities are encouraged to apply.
