Our lab uses the cryoEM facility atthe National University of Singapore (NUS), which houses a Titan Krios. We alsocollaborate extensively with other biophysical groups in Singapore that usetechniques such as Deuterium Hydrogen Exchange Mass Spectrometry (DHXMS) andMolecular Dynamic Simulations (MDS). Successful applicants will haveopportunities to learn across multiple disciplines for studying virus structures:virology, immunology, x-ray crystallography, cryoEM single particle analysis,CryoEM tomography, DHXMS and MDS. Singapore is a modern city state andwith easy access to nearby exotic destinations in South East Asia. We also haveexcellent Asian cuisines. Anthony Bourdain on Singapore’s food scene: “Singapore is possibly the most food-centric place on Earth, with themost enthusiastic diners, the most varied and abundant, affordable dishes —available for cheap — on a per-square-mile basis. The hawker centers(basically, food courts where individually-owned mom and pop operations servestreet food from tiny shops and booths) are wonderlands of Chinese, Indian, andMalay specialties. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel making food porn inSingapore.” Interestedindividuals should send their CV, experience, research interest, and a list ofthree referees to Dr Shee-mei Lok at this email: sheemei....@duke-nus.edu.sg. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1
