4D cryo-EM Methodology Development
We are seeking to recruit a Research Associate with extensive experience
in single-particle data processing/ methodology development, to join
Professor Marin van Heel’s group
(http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/people/m.vanheel) which is affiliated with
the Centre of Structural Biology at Imperial College London. This is an
international centre of excellence, providing state-of-the-art
facilities and an ideal environment for scientists embarking on a career
in research. We have a number of advanced transmission electron
microscopes available in house, including a CM 200 FEG, CM 300 FEG and
two T12 instruments. Resources are available for access to two 300kV
KRIOS instruments, which will be installed later this year at NeCEN, a
newly established cryo-EM centre at Leiden University in the Netherlands
(http://www.necen.nl/) <http://www.necen.nl/%29>. Our recently installed
MPI parallel computer, available exclusively for this project, features
580 cores.
You will originally be based at the South Kensington Campus of Imperial
College London (Flowers Building). You must hold a PhD or equivalent
qualification in a relevant discipline including, Physics, Biochemistry
or Mathematics, and have experience with transmission electron
microscopes. Experience with data processing in structural biology,
preferably in single-particle cryo-EM, is essential.
The successful candidate must be able to work independently, and must
have excellent verbal, organisational and written skills. The ability to
organise your own work with minimal supervision, and the ability to
creatively develop and apply new concepts, techniques and methods are
essential.
This position, funded by the BBSRC, is available immediately until 31
July 2012. Extension of the position with a further 18 months is subject
