Post-doctoral Position in Macromolecular Crystallography: University of Texas A post-doctoral position is available in the Morais laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, TX. Our laboratory uses a combination of X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, cryo-electron tomography, protein chemistry, and bioinformatics to study the structure and assembly of viruses and other large macromolecular complexes. Individuals trained in any aspect of structural biology are encouraged to apply, especially those with experience in cryo-electron tomography. We also encourage applications from candidates with experience in virus growth and purification who want to learn structural biology techniques. X-ray crystallography resources at UTMB include two X-ray area detector systems, a Phoenix crystallization robot, a Minstrel crystal imaging robot, and an Alchemist liquid handling robot. Additionally, as a member of the Gulf Coast Protein Crystallography Consortium, we have ready access to the protein crystallography beam line at the CAMD synchrotron in Baton Rouge, LA. The cryo-electron microscopy facility at UTMB has three JEOL electron microscopes: a JEM2200FS equipped with an in-column energy filter, a JEM2100, and a JEM 1010. The facility is unique in that infectious agents can be imaged on the JEM2200FS under BSL-3 conditions. Additionally, the center is also equipped with an FEI vitrobot to facilitate sample freezing. Interested parties should send a CV and a list of 2-3 references to Dr. Marc Morais at 301 University Blvd, 6.614B Basic Science Building, Galveston, Texas 77555-0647, or via email at [email protected].
