[3dem] Research Scientist Position at NYSBC

[David Stokes]

Research Scientist Position in the Cryo-Electron Microscopy Facility at 
the New York Structural Biology Center

The New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC) seeks an experienced 
electron microscopist to join the staff of its Cryo-Electron Microscope 
Facility (http://cryoem.nysbc.org). The NYSBC is shared center that 
supports state-of-the-art research in cryo-EM, NMR, and X-ray. Cryo-EM 
facilities include four transmission electron microscopes and a new 
dual-beam scanning electron microscope, which support projects involving 
electron tomography, single particle analysis and electron 
crystallography of both stained and frozen-hydrated samples. In general, 
projects focus on 3D reconstruction of biological assemblies and 
examples range from the atomic structure of membrane proteins, to the 
subunit organization in macromolecular complexes and the cellular 
anatomy within the developing nematode. Implementation of new 
technologies is an ongoing interest at NYSBC and, with the dual-beam 
microscope, NYSBC plans to expand the scale of 3D reconstructions to 
encompass the characterization of entire cells and their distributions 
within their native tissue. To assist in these developments, NYSBC seeks 
a individual with postdoctoral experience in biological electron 
microscopy and image reconstruction. This individual will carry out 
experiments in support of collaborative projects with affiliated 
investigators, including EM sample preparation, data collection and 
image processing. Day-to-day duties also include assisting a wide range 
of users from the NYSBC's ten Member Institutions and setup and 
maintenance of microscopes. The individual should be capable of 
multitasking and should enjoy working with other people. Good 
communication skills are essential. Qualified applicants should send a 
curriculum vitae and names of three references to David Stokes 
(stokes at nysbc.org). Salary is commensurate with experience. The position 
is currently open and applications will be reviewed continuously until 
the position is filled.
