[phenixbb] Postdoc positions in cryo-EM development at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge UK

[Jan Löwe]

*Postdoctoral positions available in cryo-EM methods development at the 
MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge UK, in the groups of 
Chris Russo and Jan Löwe*

We have one position each available, funded for two years as part of the 
LMB’s Blue Sky collaboration with AstraZeneca. The project, in 
collaboration with Kasim Sader at AZ aims to develop novel methods to 
overcome problems with sample denaturation and preferred orientation 
during vitrification of thin aqueous films. Ideas involve outrunning the 
processes involved and modifying the air-water interfaces. The ultimate 
goal is to make cryo-EM sample preparation a much more universal (and 
enjoyable) process.

Cryo-EM experience will be beneficial and a strong desire to engage 
deeply in technical developments is a must. The LMB and AZ provide 
everything required, including a highly collaborative and friendly 
environment, as well as one of the world’s best institutional cryo-EM 
setups, including state-of-the-art machine and electronics workshops, a 
clean room dedicated to grid fabrication, and soon four Titan Krios 
microscopes.
