[3DEM] Manager in Cryo-Electron Microscopy Facility

[John Trinick]

Manager in Cryo-Electron Microscopy Facility

A permanent position is available in the 
Cryo-Electron Microscopy Facility in the Astbury 
Centre for Structural Molecular Biology at Leeds 
University, UK. The main task of the appointment 
is to supervise and support use of a Tecnai F20 
FEG microscope. Salary will be up to £39k (~$74k) 
p.a. depending on experience.

Biological electron microscopy at Leeds has 5 
TEMs, including the Tecnai F20 cryo-microscope 
with 4k CCD camera. This microscope also has a 
GIF post-column energy filter with 2k CCD camera 
and is equipped for fully automated operation 
with Leginon and for tomography. The facilities 
are mainly used for single particle studies, but 
also for time-resolved cryo-EM and a broad range 
of other methods. Computing resources include a 
150 processor linux cluster.

Experience with cryo-EM and single particle image 
processing is desirable, but applications from 
other relevant disciplines, such as materials 
science and physics, are encouraged.

Leeds University  has one of the largest and most 
vigorous structural biology groups in Britain 
(see www.astbury.leeds.ac.uk). The University has 
25000 undergraduates, 5000 postgraduates and 
Leeds is a thriving city. The surrounding 
countryside is outstandingly beautiful.
