[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral positions at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School



Dear all,

 

On behalf of Prof. Nicastro,

 

The Nicastro lab (https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/labs/nicastro/) in the Cell Biology Department of UT Southwestern Medical School in Dallas is recruiting two postdoctoral fellows with experience in cell biology and/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 two Krios electron microscopes, an Aquilos cryo-FIB and cryo-CLEM – see https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/labs/cemf/ - 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@utsouthwestern.edu

 

UT Southwestern is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity (for more information please visit https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/about-us/administrative-offices/equity-access/). 

 

Best wishes,

Yanhe
