Dear community,
a postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Filip Van Petegem at the
University of British Columbia. The project involves the structural and
functional investigation of ion channels using cryo-EM and X-ray
crystallography, supplemented with various functional assays. For a
complete list of publications, see:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Van+Petegem+F&sort=date
The successful candidate should have ample experience with structural
biology, either through X-ray crystallography and/or cryo-EM. Experience
with the purification of membrane proteins is an additional asset. The
project will make use of our in-house X-ray and cryo-EM facilities. The
latter includes a 200kV Glacios and 300kV Titan Krios microscopes. Funding
is available for 3 years, with an initial appointment of 1 year that is
renewable.
The lab is located in the Life Sciences Institute (https://lsi.ubc.ca/) at
the UBC Point Grey Campus. UBC
Interested individuals should send a CV and cover letter explaining their
motivation and interest to the contact info given below. Please also
include the contact details for 3 referees. The position will remain open
until filled.
Sincerely,
Filip Van Petegem
