MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK
An opportunity is available for a postdoctoral researcher to work with Dr. Tanmay Bharat to apply high-resolution electron cryotomography methods to study P. aeruginosa biofilm in vitro as well in physiologically relevant disease settings (such as patient biopsies).
We are looking for an enthusiastic individual who will thrive in a collaborative, vibrant, friendly and supportive atmosphere. In addition to applying latest generation FIB milling and tomography techniques, this project will provide opportunities to learn subtomogram averaging, as well as cutting edge microbiology, vital microscopy and cell biology techniques. We have a fleet of high-end machines (TEMs / FIB-SEMs / cryo-LMs / HPFs) available for the successful candidate to use for this project. Candidates who have used a Zeiss Crossbeam, or TFS Arctis/Aquilos and/or TFS Titan Krioses could skip a lot of the training.
You should have a PhD in a relevant subject, or due to complete within 6 months, or equivalent degree and a strong desire to uncover fundamental biological principles. The position would suit an individual with an extensive background in structural biology or cell biology and keen biological/biomedical interests. Experience with cryoEM, cryoET or FIB milling would be particularly advantageous.
This is a three-year training and development position suitable for you if you have recently completed your doctoral studies, or you are looking to move into a new research discipline and/or need to further develop your research skills. Working with our world class scientists you will be working in an Institute renowned for its excellent scientific facilities and high-quality research.
The LMB has a collaborative working culture and state-of-the-art building based on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. We have on-site parking, cycle enclosures and excellent public transport links to the site. We have a staff restaurant with roof terrace, on-site nursery, sports and social facilities. You will be eligible to join our defined benefit pension scheme with an employer contribution of 16%, holiday entitlement of 40.5 days (including bank holidays and privilege days) and a generous employee discount scheme. We are also committed to providing training and development opportunities including support towards role-related qualifications.
The LMB is a world-class research institute within UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). UKRI is nine research councils, working together across all disciplines and sectors. More information can be found at www.ukri.org and www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk.
Closing date: 06/11/2024
Final appointments will be subject to a pre-employment screening.
We actively support equality, diversity and inclusion in all our activities, processes and culture. We encourage applications from all sections of society.
