Postdoctoral research positions are available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. James Chen at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), Portland, OR. The research focus of the Chen Lab is on molecular and cellular EM imaging, with technical development and structural biology projects. Our work is facilitated by the OHSU-FEI Living Lab, which is equipped with a Titan Krios cryo-electron microscope (including a direct detector), a Helios DualBeam microscope, an integrated electron and light microscope (Tecnai iCorr), a super-resolution fluorescence microscope, and other accessory instruments. We also collaborate with Intel on developing and utilizing advanced computing architectures for “big data” image analysis, particularly on the PARTICLE platform (www.image-analysis.net/EM). Highly motivated individuals with a Ph.D. (or within six months of graduation) in the natural sciences are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to applicants with demonstrated expertise in biochemistry, protein chemistry, and molecular modeling. Applicants should send a cover letter describing research experience and interests, a curriculum vitae, and the contact information of three references to James Chen at [email protected].
