*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*
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.
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.
