[徵才] Postdoctoral position in cryo-EM (ASU)
Two postdoctoral positions are available in Po-Lin Chiu's group at the School
of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University (ASU). The lab will
physically locate in the Biodesign Building in Tempe campus. Our research
focuses on the structural studies of membrane proteins, especially those of
the receptor complexes in neuron axonal regeneration, and the main structural
approach will be utilizing both single-particle cryo-EM and electron
crystallography. In parallel, we are also interested in the technical
development of cryo-EM method.
The ASU has its well-known name in the long history as an international leader
in electron microscopy. The facility of the John M. Cowley Center for
High-Resolution Electron Microscopy will install a new Titan-Krios equipped
with a Volta phase plate and a Gatan K2 direct electron detector this
October (see list: https://le-csss.asu.edu/equipment). The FEI F20 electron
microscope in the center will also be ready for biological cryo-EM use with
modification. For EM sample screening, the CLAS Bioimaging Facility has a
Philips CM12 and a JEOL 1200EX electron microscope
(http://rts.clas.asu.edu/em). The CLAS facility also has the high-pressure
freezing equipment for sample preparation for electron tomography as well. In
addition, the ASU also has a pioneer group leading the studies on femtosecond
nanocrystallography using X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL), and we will have
an excellent collaborative environment between structural biophysicists with
different backgrounds.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in the biology-related field or physical
sciences. Preferred successful candidates will have the experiences in:
1. overexpression and purification of mammalian membrane proteins;
2. (optional) cryo-EM or X-ray crystallography experience;
or
1. optics/photonics;
2. signal processing (especially in pattern recognition);
3. (optional) programming skill in HPC demand.
The applicants must be self-motivated and team-oriented working with other lab
members.
Applicants are invited to send their curriculum vitae and a list of contact
information for two references to Po-Lin Chiu, Ph.D. (plchiu@asu.edu).
