[3dem] Microscopist position at Vironova AB, Sweden

[Mathieu Colomb-Delsuc]

Dear all,



A position for an electron microscopist is opened in Vironova AB, a biotech
company located in Stockholm, Sweden specialized in electron microscopy
services, please see the offer below:



Vironova AB was founded in 2005 as a result of interdisciplinary research
at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden and is today a quickly
growing company with around 40 employees. Vironova offers unique services
for nanoparticle characterization together with hardware (miniTEM) and
software solutions (VAS) for advanced electron microscopy image analysis.

Vironova image analysis services are mainly used for characterization of
specimens such as viruses, VLPs, liposomes and lipid nanoparticles. With
our proprietary in-house developed software (VAS) we offer a unique range
of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image analysis services in
accordance to GMP to academia, biotech companies and the pharmaceutical
industry (our clients are mainly found in the vaccine and drug/gene
delivery industry). Depending on the characteristics of the specimen and
the aim of the study Vironova uses different sample preparation methods and
TEM-techniques such as cryoTEM, negative stain (nsTEM), ultra-thin
sectioning of cells or tissues (utsTEM) and immunogold labeling of antigens
(iTEM). Our clients are often using our services in their research and
quality control, since factors such as morphology, particle size, ratio of
filled and empty particles can be important to the safety and efficacy of
e.g. drugs and vaccines.

During 2017 we will launch our table-top TEM, MiniTEM. Getting a client
ready for miniTEM might include a lot of different steps, from finding the
optimal sample preparation protocol to visit the client giving a course in
that specific protocol and how to obtain the best EM images with the
system.

As the demand for our services is constantly increasing and we are highly
focusing on the launch of the miniTEM, we are now looking for people with
experience in both nsTEM and cryoTEM. You will join a team of scientists
focusing on delivering projects to the highest quality and on time to our
clients, therefore, the person we are looking for has:



   - Extensive experience in nsTEM and cryoTEM (≥4 years experience)
   - Good communication skills in English (written and spoken)
   - A good scientific and quality mindset



As a person you are analytical and structured. You like to be part of a
team, are committed and responsible. You are a good communicator, enjoy to
learn new things as well as being a good educator. As each microscopist in
the team are running several projects at a time, you are good in
multitasking, flexible and service oriented.

Traveling to clients and conferences might be part of the position.



If you are interested or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to
contact Josefina Nilsson (josefina.nilsson at vironova.com). Please send in
your application (CV and a personal letter) before the 15th of January 2017.



Kind regards and best wishes for the end of the year celebrations,



Mathieu
