*Research Fellow
Project Title: *Cryo-electron microscopy of yeast prion fibrils
This 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.
*University Grade 6 (£21,682-£25,889 p.a) or University Grade 7 (£26,666
- £31,840pa)*
It is likely that the appointment will be made at or below *£26,666*
since there are funding limitations which dictate the level at which the
appointment can start.
