Two postdoctoral positions will be available after Dec 2016 in Rui Zhang's group at the Washington University in St. Louis. The lab will be in the WU School of Medicine (WUSM).
WUSM will have a brand new FEI Titan Krios (equipped with Cs corrector, phase plate etc) and a K2 direct detector installed in early 2017. Besides plenty of access to the Titan Krios in the near future, a JEOL-1400 microscope is currently available for sample screening. WUSM also offers a state-of-the-art facility for cellular imaging.
Dr. Zhang's group will primarily use single particle cryo-EM, together with other biophysical techniques, to study the structure and function of macromolecular complexes in the cytoskeleton system. There will also be plenty of opportunities to work on various protein complexes through local collaborations within the WU campus. A list of Dr. Zhang's publication can be found here.
The candidates must have (or expecting) a PhD or equivalent degree in biological sciences. Two types of qualifications are preferred:
To apply, please email your CV and names of your references to ruiz@berkeley.edu.
