The successful applicant will be responsible for managing the  
biological electron microscopy facility at the University of Sheffield  
which is a joint facility between the Departments of Molecular Biology  
and Biotechnology and the Department of Biomedical Sciences. The  
microscopes are housed in a laboratory that straddles the two  
departments under the direction of Professor Per Bullough (http://www.shef.ac.uk/mbb/staff/bullough 
). The laboratory has an active research programme centred around  
cryoEM of membrane protein assemblies and large protein complexes .  
The successful candidate would be expected to play a major role in  
supporting these research activities.

In addition, the EM facility provides a service for other users from  
both within the departments and outside. Services include sample  
sectioning, SEM and cryoEM and these are already supported in part by  
another member of staff. The successful candidate would be expected to  
oversee these activities and also to train and supervise new users.  
Applicants should have a PhD (or equivalent) in a related area and  
experience in cryoEM.

The laboratory is equipped with a Philips CM200 FEG + Gatan 2K camera,  
Philips CM100 + Gatan 1K camera, Tecnai 120 kV G2 Biotwin + 1K camera,  
a selection of Oxford and Gatan cryo-stages, equipment for SEM and  
sectioning, including a Leica Ultracut UC6 plus FC6 cryochamber, Zeiss  
Phodis/SCAI scanner and Sira optical diffractometer. We are aiming to  
replace the Philips instruments in the near future.
