Postdoctoral position in cryo-electron microscopy at UCSF
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Cheng laboratory
in the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics at UCSF. The research of
the laboratory is focused on structural analysis of macromolecular
assemblies by using various cryo-electron microscopy techniques: single
particle analysis, cryo-electron tomography and electron
crystallography. Areas of interest include structural studies of coated
vesicles and gate-opening mechanism of 20S proteasome. Department of
Biochemistry & Biophysics at UCSF is equipped with state-of-the-art
cryo-electron microscopy instruments, including a Tecnai Polara with
Gatan GIF energy filter and 4Kx4K CCD camera, a Tecnai T20, a Tecnai T12
and a Vitrobot for cryo-specimen preparation. Qualification include a
Ph.D. degree and strong background in structural biology and/or protein
biochemistry. Candidates with experience in x-ray crystallography are
welcome to apply. Experiences in electron microscopy and image
processing are also desirable but not required.
Interested candidates should send a CV including areas of expertise and
interest, publications list, and names and contact information for 3
references to Yifan Cheng at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
