*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.
