Dear community,
A joint postdoc position is available in the labs of Drs. David Fedida and
Filip Van Petegem at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver,
Canada.
The project involves cryo-EM investigation of voltage-gated potassium
channel structure and pharmacology. The successful

This of course only has a small chance of working in your case, but it's

A postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Filip Van Petegem at the
University of British Columbia.
Our lab focusses on calcium channels in both the plasma membrane and
intracellular compartments. Calcium is an important 2nd messenger and
channels allowing influx of calcium into the
s you would do for
flash-cooling the crystal in paratone. And a major advantage: you can use
the same crystal to collect under cryo-conditions and directly compare the
impact of cooling the crystal...

there are mixed feelings, but there is a clear bias towards Akta, with a
better service and durability – individual experiences with service might be
