Dear all students and postdocs!!
Two postdoctoral fellowships, funded by the Kempe Foundations, are available for highly motivated individuals, with an interest in cryo-EM, tomography and related methods. You will have the opportunity to explore your research project in a scientific environment including several research groups with extensive experience in biochemistry, cell and molecular biology at the recently established cryo-EM facility at Umeå University. Each fellowship is available for 2 years and will be paid to the successful candidate as a tax-free stipend.
This project is focused on understanding the structure, assembly and function of protein complexes associated with membrane vesicles using cryo-electron tomography and advanced imaging techniques. Both the Umeå Core facility for Electron Microscopy and the Biochemical Imaging Centre at Umeå University as well as other UmU facilities (http://www.kbc.umu.se/english/) will be accessible to provide the infrastructure needed for this project.
The EM Facility was recently equipped with a new Titan Krios TEM instrument with a phase plate and both Falcon 3 and K2 direct electron detectors. A total of 6 electron microscopes, together with sample processing facilities, will form a key foundation for the scientific part of this project, which will also include ample possibilities for method development.

Do not hesitate to contact me, Richard Lundmark or Jonathan Gilthorp for more information!
Best Regards
