We are seeking scientists to work on solving structures of macromolecular complexes and assemblies involved in HIV-1 biology (Cell, 139, 780-790, 2009) and bacterial chemotaxis signaling using cryoEM methods, including single particle analysis, real-space helical reconstruction, electron tomography and 3D sub-tomogram averaging, and also MD simulation. Motivated candidate with strong computational skills or research background in mathematics, physics or engineering are all encouraged to apply. Any research background in image processing, programming, Linux/Unix or electron microscopy would be a plus. The position is funded for several years with support from NIH.
Our lab is equipped with an FEI Polara F30, a Tecnai F20, and a T12 spirit cryo-electron microscopes, high-pressure freezing and freeze-substitution, and with access to the departmental HPC system (http://www.structbio.pitt.edu/main/facilities/computational) and to the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (http://www.psc.edu/index.php/users/computing-resources).
Interested candidates should send an application, including a CV, areas of expertise and interests, publications list, and names and contact information for 3 references to:
