Postdoctoral position in cryo-electron tomography at Texas Medical Center A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Jun Liu at UT Medical School at Houston. The research of our laboratory is focused on 3-D structure/function of macromolecular assemblies, intact bacteria and enveloped viruses by using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). With high-throughput cryo-ET and the most advanced image processing, we have the great opportunity to understand the biomedical important event at the physiological environment with the molecular resolution, for instance: Nature (2006) 442:208; Nature (2006) 441:847; J Mol Biol (2006) 362:844; J Biol Chem (2007) 282: 27754; J Bacteriol (2007) 189:7503.
Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry or molecular biology with high motivation. Interested candidates should send a CV including areas of expertise and interest, publications list, and names and contact information for 3 references to: Dr. Jun Liu, Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, University of Texas Medical School at Houston, 6431 Fannin, MSB 2.228, Houston, TX 77030, Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] UT Medical School at Houston is equipped with state-of-the art cryo-electron microscopy instruments, including a FEI Polara 300kv electron microscope with helium stage and a 4kx4k CCD camera, two JEOL 1200 microscopes. High-performance computer clusters for image processing and Vitrobot for specimen preparation are also available. As part of the Texas Medical Center, we have the unique opportunity to collaborate and interact with the other academic and health components including Baylor College of Medicine, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Rice University, and the Texas A&M Institute of Bioscience and Technology.
