The newly established research group of Eva Kummer is looking for an excellent and highly motivated postdoc to investigate mitochondrial dynamics and their correlation with maintenance and expression of mitochondrial DNA. They look for someone to drive establishment of in situ imaging workflows including correlative light and electron microscopy, FIB milling and cryo-electron tomography. Prior experience with cryo-ET is therefore a big plus. This project will combine training and experimental work in house but also at other EM facilities in Europe and is the perfect project for someone with a big interest in method development and implementation.
Their group profits from generous funding by an NNF-CPR core grant and a Hallas Møller Emerging Investigator grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. They have access to state-of-the-art electron microscopy infrastructure at CFIM (Core Facility for Integrated Microscopy at the University of Copenhagen) including a Titan Krios and Glacios, both equipped with Falcon 3 DED. You will join an international and highly collaborative environment.
The position is available from May 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter.
