The Multiscale Research Institute for Complex Systems (MRICS) at Fudan
University is located at the Zhangjiang Campus of Fudan University and is
supported by the Shanghai High-level Talents Program. MRICS is strongly
committed to the development of novel and effective
multi-scale imaging technology that spans microscopic molecular structures all
the way to macroscopic medical imaging, with the aim to provide unprecedented
spatial and temporal insights into the structures and functions of living
beings at all levels (molecules, cells, tissues, organs and even whole
organisms). Specifically for structural
biology, MRICS is equipped with a state-of-the-art cryo-EM facility
that includes FEI Titan Krios with Volta phase plate, Glacios, Talos and
Aquilos. MRICS is also located next to
Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility for X-ray crystallography.
Our team includes Nobel laureate and international leading
interdisciplinary experts.
We have new openings for multiple postdoctoral fellows in structural
biology who will mainly study important biological systems by means of
cryo-electron microscopy including single-particle and tomography.
Requirements:
The applicants
should have a recent Ph.D. degree (within two years of
graduation) or will have a Ph.D. degree within the next six months in
biology or chemistry-related fields, be devoted to
excellence in scientific research, have strong sense of responsibility, and be highly
motivated and hardworking. For these positions, extensive
experience in protein _expression_ and purification is a must, while prior
experience in X-ray crystallography or cryo-EM is a plus, but is not required.
Compensation:
1)
We offer internationally competitive salary, fringe benefits and
yearly bonus. The level of salary will
be determined according to the applicant's experience and qualification;
2)
Low-rent housing on campus is provided;
3)
There are ample opportunities to collaborate with world-renown
laboratories;
4)
We provide support for applying for funding
opportunities whenever applicable.
Shanghai is one
of the most cosmopolitan cities in China with strong economy and vibrant
scientific community.
For interested
applicants, please submit postdoctoral application packages (a combined pdf)
including resumes, representative publications, phone numbers and email
addresses of three academic referees to mrics_fd@fudan.edu.cn.
We look forward
to your joining of our first-class team!
