[3dem] Postdoctoral positions at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

[Daniela Nicastro]

The Nicastro lab (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/labs/nicastro/__;!!Mih3wA!Xf6OXKqE-julHXG_LNjQL07DoN1mefe9xndQaCwCDCXQnMcYYFmPLXsVJYC-3WsLVw$ ) in the Cell Biology Department of UT Southwestern is recruiting postdoctoral fellows with experience in cell biology or structural biology to work in the field of cellular cryo-electron tomography.



Why join the Nicastro lab:

  *   We have access to state-of-the-art facilities and instrumentation (including an Aquilos cryo-FIB, two Krios electron microscopes - see https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/labs/cemf/__;!!Mih3wA!Xf6OXKqE-julHXG_LNjQL07DoN1mefe9xndQaCwCDCXQnMcYYFmPLXsVJYCJuqZcKg$  - and a high-performance computing cluster).
  *   We are highly collaborative, and fellows can choose from a range of interesting projects (e.g. cytoskeletal assemblies, cilia, organelles, host-pathogen interactions, technical development and more).
  *   This is an exciting time to join the field of cellular cryo-electron tomography: cryo-focused-ion beam (cryo-FIB) milling allows imaging “slices” of organelles/cell/small organisms that were otherwise too large, correlative imaging allow better targeting of regions of interest, and hardware/software advances continue to increase the achievable resolution.



Qualifications:

Highly motivated and creative Ph.D., with interest in learning new imaging techniques to study biological processes. The candidate must be able to work independently, as well as demonstrate a strong commitment to team-based work. Prior knowledge in cryo-electron microcopy is not required.



Interested applicants should send their Curriculum Vitae and cover letter describing their motivation to apply for the position to: Daniela Nicastro (email: Daniela.Nicastro at utsouthwestern.edu<mailto:Daniela.Nicastro at utsouthwestern.edu>)
