[3dem] Postdoc Opportunities in Cryo-EM in the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory

[Sanbonmatsu, Karissa Yoshiko]

A post-doctoral position is available immediately in the area of cryo-EM software development. Research areas include structural biology, molecular modeling, image analysis, 3-D reconstruction, parallelization and python programming. The position is 2 years (with possible 3rd year extension) with competitive starting salary plus benefits ($74,000- $88,000 USD, depending on number of years after Ph. D.).


Job Requirements:

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in computer science, physics, biophysics or computational chemistry and have experience in python programming, MPI, parallelization, structural biology and cryo-EM. We are seeking highly motivated and independent candidates that excel at programming, parallelization, and debugging. We prefer candidates with extensive experience with PHENIX, gromacs, GPU, MPI, or who have experience developing large software packages. Approval for US citizen visiting our campus requires 15 days. Approval for foreign national visits requires 35 days. Approval for visits by foreign national citizens of DOE sensitive countries requires 70 days.




Los Alamos National Laboratory:

LANL has an intellectually diverse environment and demands creative, innovative and pioneering solutions. LANL is a leader in high performance computing and has a history of leadership in this area, dating back to one of the first supercomputers ever built. The Theoretical Division was first led by Hans Bethe and was home to Richard Feynman for many years. As a national laboratory, high priority is placed in interdisciplinary studies. Facilities include a large number of supercomputers, four divisions (~300 people each) devoted to computation, and a large computing allocation for this project. We are located in the mountains of northern New Mexico, near Santa Fe, with close access to skiing, hiking, climbing and mountain biking.


Application requirements:

Please send CV to Karissa Sanbonmatsu kys at lanl.gov and arrange to have 3 letters of recommendation to kys at lanl.gov as pdf files.
