Job Description

The successful candidate will work with PIs Associate Professor Duane Loh and Assistant Professor Tan Yongzi on computational phase retrieval for cryo-electron microscopy of floppy, low-contrast RNA molecules.


The main responsibilities of the position include:

  1. Develop realistic forward model to simulate noisy cryo-electron micrographs from RNA biomolecules.
  2. Perform computational phase retrieval on 2D micrographs using physics-informed neural networks.
  3. Infer structural variability of floppy biomolecules from computationally phase-retrieved micrographs.

Qualifications

Ph.D. in physics-related disciplines.

 

Experience:

  • Fluent in high-performance scientific computing and imaging in python, and comfortable in the Unix environment.

 

Skills:

  • Strong foundation in computational optics, deep learning, high performance computing, and structural biology in cryo-EM
