Job Description

Macromolecular Postdoctoral Employee - 87330

Organization: MF-Molecular Foundry

Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry Division (https://foundry.lbl.gov/) has an opening for a Postdoc Employee. The postdoctoral fellow will work with researchers in the Imaging and Manipulation of Nanostructures Facility on projects to study the mechanism and dynamics of proteins that are related to human cholesterol metabolism. The approach will be mainly focused on optimization and implication of the Foundry’s in-house developed individual-particle electron tomography (IPET) technique. Research activities will involve biological sample preparation, cryo-TEM operation, image processing. Computer programming and molecular dynamic simulations will be optional.

The Molecular Foundry at Berkeley Lab is a user facility for the design, synthesis and characterization of materials with nanometer dimensions. One of five Nanoscale Science Research Centers established by the U.S. Department of Energy, its charter defines two primary missions: a) conduct outstanding research across the breadth of nanoscience; and b) collaborate with scientists from around the world who visit to use its state-of-the-art instruments, techniques and expertise to further their own nanoscience research efforts. [See http://foundry.lbl.gov/]

What You Will Do:

• TEM specimen preparation

• Cryo-EM operation and data acquisition

• Image processing and data manipulation

• Discuss research results and attend group meetings

• Help maintain instruments and support users

• Document and communicate the results of work in reports and oral presentations, including participation in meetings, reviews, conferences and publications in refereed journals.

Additional Responsibilities as needed:

• Computer programming and molecular dynamic simulations

• Biochemistry experiments

• Scientific writing and editing

What is Required:

• Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science

• Well scientific writing and reading

• Teamwork capability

• Self-motivated

Additional Desired Qualifications:

• Research background and experience in TEM, Cryo-EM, crystallography, biochemistry, computer science

• Strong background and experience in mathematics and computer knowledge

The posting shall remain open until the position is filled.

Notes:

• This is a full time 1 year postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs.

• Full-time, M-F, exempt (monthly paid) from overtime pay.

• This position is represented by a union for collective bargaining purposes

• Salary will be predetermined based on postdoctoral step rates.

• This position may be subject to a background check. Any convictions will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered for employment.

• Work will be primarily performed at: Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA.
