Summary

The Li Lab at HHMI Janelia is seeking a research scientist or postdoctoral associate to lead projects investigating cell-surface signaling by using cryo-electron tomography and integrative structural biology approaches. The lab studies the operating principles of cell-surface signaling in the nervous and immune systems by combining method development and in vivo mechanistic investigation (learn more about our work here). Janelia Research Campus features highly collaborative teams and state-of-the-art instrumentation for electron microscopy, cryo-electron microscopy, and FIB-SEM technology, as well as strong computation teams and infrastructure.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Design and perform experiments of cellular and molecular cryo-ET
• Explore and analyze data using computation techniques
• Collaborate with other researchers for methodological development
• Communicate research with the community and the public

Qualifications

Education

• Ph.D. degree in any related fields

Skills and Abilities

• Experience with cryo-ET/EM and integrative structural biology, particularly data analysis
• Optional: experience with chemical biology and/or cell biology
• Ability to work collaboratively

Please submit your application with a summary of the current work and future research interest, a detailed CV, and names/contacts of three references.

We also welcome joint scientists/postdocs with other Janelia labs.
