<b>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</b><br>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<p>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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
