We
are seeking a highly motivated candidate for a Ph.D. position in the
group of Electron Microscopy at LUMC (Leiden, The Netherlands). The
project will focus on the development and application of correlative
light-electron microscopy (CLEM) to the study of the replication of
positive-strand RNA viruses, and will be complemented with biochemical
and molecular biology approaches. The project is part of a
long-standing collaboration between the Electron Microscopy
Section (Prof. Bram Koster’s group) and Molecular Virology (Prof. Eric
Snijder’s group) at LUMC.
The Electron
Microscopy Section’s infrastructure and expertise comprise a very wide
range of specimen preparation and imaging tools. The group has unique
equipment for (cryo) correlative microscopy applications.
Part of the research will be carried out in the new facilities of the
Netherlands Centre for Electron Nanoscopy (NeCen, http://www.necen.nl),
located in the vicinity of LUMC.

Leiden is a
nice historic small-scale town with a large university and a lively
student atmosphere. The town is in the heart of the country, directly
connected by train to Amsterdam (30 min) and Amsterdam’s
airport (15 min), and only 3 hours away by train from Paris.
