*POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE*
We have one postdoctoral position available in our group based at
Imperial College London. This BBSRC funded position is initially for
two years and is aimed at improving single-particle cryo-EM
methodology. This position for software and methodology development is
available immediately! Our grant is for processing huge data sets of
biological molecules containing a mixture of functional / structural
states. We study different biological systems including small (~100k)
molecules, ribosomes and icosahedral viruses. Candidates with a
background in cryo-EM, X-ray crystallography, physics, chemistry,
biology, computer sciences, mathematics, or other related fields are
encouraged to apply. A sharp analytical mind and the ability to work in
a team are essential. Programming experience is required, preferably in
Fortran and/or ‘C’.
My group has a long track record in methodology development and many of
the now standard procedures in single-particle cryo-EM stem originally
from us including: MSA classification; projection matching; angular
reconstitution. We are looking for a creative team member who will
contribute to the current rapid methodological developments in 4D
cryo-EM (Klaholz et al, Nature 2004; van Heel et al, “Imagic 4D”;
Intern. Table for Crystallography. Vol. F, 2010. see:
http://www.single-particles.org).
Data collection will take place on our own suites of CBEM microscopes
(CM300-LiHe-FEG/CM200-FEG/T12), on Holger Stark’s KRIOS in Göttingen;
and the KRIOS instrument to be installed in Leiden University (The
Netherlands) later this year. A computer cluster equipped with some 600
CPU cores and 25+Tbyte of disk space is available for our group.
Please send an email including your CV to myself and to my
administrator (m.vanheel at ic.ac.uk <mailto:m.vanheel at ic.ac.uk> and
_mvh.office at gmail.com <mailto:mvh.office at gmail.com>_).
Kind regards,
Marin van Heel
