Dear all,
The following is an open ad for two positions at UT Southwester Medical
Center in Dallas, Texas, USA. Please continue if you are interested. If
you know someone else who might be interested, please help distribute
it. Thanks.Otherwise, sorry for cluttering your email box.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Positions open: (please forward to those who you think might be interested)
Two positions for highly motivated Postdoctoral Scientists or Research
Scientists in the Department of Cell Biology at UT Southwestern Medical
Center will be open from January 2012. The initial contracts will be one
year, and can be extended to three years. Compensations for these
positions will follow NIH standards with merit-based rewards. We are
looking for scientists with strong interest in applying cryoEM
techniques to address important biological questions. These positions,
funded by a newly-awarded CPRIT grant, will apply recently-developed
techniques in the laboratory, and focus on understanding the structural
basis for the function of the telomere and telomerase system. The
projects will represent a collaborative investigation with other
laboratories in the Department. The candidates therefore should be
team-players with relatively good communication skills. Candidates for
the first position need to have strong expertise in molecular biology
and biochemistry, especially the cloning, expression and purification of
recombinant proteins in heterogeneous systems. Some experience with
biophysical tools including electron microscopy will be a plus, but not
a must. They need be open to learn new techniques in cryoEM and
structure determination. Candidates suitable for the second opening
should have good training in cryoEM from specimen preparation to image
processing and data interpretation, and should be eager to learn
biological applications for future research program. All interested
parties please send in one PDF file a copy of updated cv, a short
research statement including past achievements and personal research
interest, and names/ contact information of three references to Dr.
