POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN DYNAMIC TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY/CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND MATERIALS
SCIENCE DEPARTMENT, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-DAVIS, DAVIS CA 95616. USA
A postdoctoral position is currently available to work on an NIH
funded project to develop the dynamic TEM to study live biological
processes. This DTEM project at UC-Davis aims to couple high time
resolution (microseconds to nanoseconds) to high spatial resolution
by using a pulsed photoemission source for the microscope. This
development has already seen advances in in-situ studies of phase
transformations and the current postdoctoral position aims to expand
the area of research for the DTEM into the biological
sciences. Successful candidates will be recent Ph.D. graduates in
physics, chemistry, biology, or materials science with a sound
background in the relevant instrumentation issues and an ambition to
be part of a developing program pushing at the frontiers of
structural biology. Prior experience in high resolution TEM/STEM,
cryo-EM or in-situ TEM is essential. However, consideration will be
based on the candidates overall potential for success in the field
and applicants with prior experience in related fields are encouraged
to apply. Salary is commensurate with experience and is determined
within the UC-Davis standard pay scales for postdoctoral
appointees. Further information on the postdoctoral positions can be
obtained by contacting Professor Nigel D. Browning
(nbrowning at ucdavis.edu) or Dr. James Evans (jeevans at ucdavis.edu).
