Dear all, we are seeking a postdoctoral fellow with an interest in developing new approaches for cryo-EM sample preparation.
Drawing on the unique possibilities of MEMS technology, your specific task will be to develop a new high-speed sample preparation method for correlative snapshot imaging of dynamic molecular processes. As part of a larger research consortium with colleagues in Utrecht and Delft, you will apply this method to map rapid structural changes in complex reconstituted systems. The position is for 3 years and would be ideal for someone with a background in cryo-EM/ET, macromolecular crystallography or biophysics and an affinity for method development. We also welcome applications by (bio)physicists with a background in instrument development, imaging physics, fluid dynamics and/or nanofabrication who are eager to explore molecular imaging of biological systems. The Kavli Institute of Nanoscience hosted at Delft University of Technology is an exciting place to work at the interface of biology and physics, and provides a vibrant and collaborative environment with access to excellent facilities, including a 300 kV cryo-TEM with DED dedicated to method development and the Kavli Nanolab, one of the largest academic nanotechnology research infrastructures in Europe. Only a bike ride away from the (North Sea) beaches, Delft is a green and lively historic university city with a young and international population and a rich cultural scene. The position is available immediately, but the starting date is flexible. For more information and to apply online please follow this link: Postdoc position in cryo-EM method development<http://emea3.mrted.ly/3grrk> I am happy to answer questions by email, but formal applications need to be submitted through the online system by 31-10-2023. While the position primarily targets postdoctoral fellows, it is also suited as a PhD position for applicants with a suitable background. If you are interested to apply for a PhD position, please email me first and do not apply through the online link. There is already substantial preliminary work both on the technical aspects and on the biology, so candidates would be off to a quick start (see e.g. PMC8786315<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8786315/>, PMC9859754<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9859754/>, PMC9714966<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9714966/>). I would be grateful to anyone who would pass on this opportunity to suitable candidates.
