Ziv Reich’s lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science is looking for an outstanding and motivated postdoc to study microscopic and mesoscopic re-arrangements of photosynthetic complexes and membranes that govern the plant’s response and tolerance to high-light stress. Our long-term goal is to unravel how structural dynamics in photosynthetic membranes control photosynthetic energy conversion under varying environmental conditions. The project involves high-end electron microscopy techniques, such as freeze-fracture and cryo-electron tomography, together with spectroscopic and phenotypic characterization. The project is conducted in collaboration with the lab of Helmut Kirchhoff at Washington State University.

Requirements:
Experience in electron microscopy and image analysis is an advantage.

To apply:
Please send a letter with a description of your previous research experience and your future research interests along with your curriculum vitae.
