Betreff: [ccpem] Postdoctoral position in cryo-EM of membrane protein complexes 
at PSI
Antwort an: "Korkhov Volodymyr (PSI)"

A postdoctoral position is available in the group of Prof. Volodymyr M. Korkhov 
at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zurich, to work on structure and 
function of membrane-associated signal transduction complexes using electron 
cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) and single particle analysis.
The successful candidate will have expertise and a track record in cryo-EM and 
single particle analysis. The candidate will be experienced in molecular 
biology, including cloning, heterologous protein expression and purification. 
Previous experience with biochemistry of membrane proteins will be an advantage 
but not a prerequisite. The candidate will be able to work independently and 
will have excellent teamwork and communication skills.
The Korkhov group is integrated into the Laboratory of Biomolecular Research at 
PSI and has full access to all facilities and instruments for protein 
expression, purification, biochemical and biophysical analysis. In addition, 
the group benefits access to the PSI crystallization facility and the Swiss 
Light Source synchrotron radiation facility. The group benefits from the 
in-house 200 kV screening transmission electron microscope (JEOL JEM2200), 
planned to be upgraded with a direct electron detector. Furthermore, the group 
has full access to all research facilities at ETH Zurich, including the K2 and 
Falcon II direct detector-equipped Titan Krios microscope at the ETH Scientific 
Centre for Optical and Electron Microscopy (ScopeM).
Working at PSI provides many benefits, including integration into the PSI/ETH 
Zurich scientific community, high standard of living and a competitive salary. 
This position is offered for one year initially, and is extendable to up to 
four years. The candidate will be expected to obtain a postdoctoral mobility 
fellowship within the first year.
For informal enquiries or to apply for this position the interested candidates 
should send an e-mail to 
volodymyr.kork...@psi.ch. The application 
should include a cover letter describing the candidate`s research interests and 
motivation to apply, the CV and list of publications, and contact details of 
three referees. Additional information can be found here:
