[Liang, Bo]

Dear Colleagues,

The Robert P. Apkarian Integrated Electron Microscopy Core at Emory seeks to appoint an enthusiastic, motivated, and experienced cryo-electron microscopist at the associate scientist level, and a lead research specialist to support the core operations. Please check the details of two positions and apply through the links below:

Associate Scientist: https://staff-emory.icims.com/jobs/23024/job

Lead Research Specialist: https://staff-emory.icims.com/jobs/23025/job

Associate Scientist
The Associate Scientist will develop and support service offerings in electron microscopy (EM) and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), while working closely with another associate scientist who is focused on high-resolution single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The Robert P. Apkarian Integrated Electron Microscopy Core has EM resources located at two sites on the Emory campus; This position will focus on supporting users at the Cherry Emerson location. The EM-level instrumentation at Emory includes a ThermoFisher Talos Arctica 200 kV FEG-TEM, a JEOL JEM-2200FS 200 kV FEG-TEM (equipped with hole-free phase-plate and a DE-20 direct electron detector), a ThermoFisher Talos 120 kV TEM, a JEOL JEM-1400 120 kV TEM, a Hitachi HT7700 120 kV TEM, and two FEG-SEMs. Additional preparative equipment includes a ThermoFisher Vitrobot Mark IV, a Gatan CP3, several plasma-cleaners and carbon evaporators, a Baltec HPM-010 high-pressure freezer, a Leica cryo-ultramicrotome, and a Leica freeze substitution device. The facility will enable research from existing investigators at Emory with established strengths in cell biology, bacteriology, virology, and structural biology, as well as new investigators from across Emory and the Atlanta area. This facility will be strongly supported by the institutional commitment to advance EM and cryo-EM at Emory University.

Lead Research Specialist
Under general supervision, the Lead Research Specialist performs a variety of defined research and laboratory tests and experiments according to prescribed protocols and assigned schedules in the Robert P. Apkarian Integrated Electron Microscopy Core (IEMC). Requires independent judgment in applying scientific technique. Operate and maintain cryo-electron microscopes and associated equipment. Sets up experiments and assists core users as prescribed by a supervisor (Core Director or Scientific Director). Experience in electron microscopy is preferred but not required. Maintains records, files and logs of work performed in laboratory notebooks and computer databases. Compiles data and records results of studies for IEMC customers. Performs related responsibilities as required by the Core Director and Scientific Director.

Emory University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action/Disability/Veteran Employer. Emory University offers competitive compensation and benefits package covering health insurance, retirement benefits, and savings programs. Inquiries regarding these positions should be made to Michael E. Zwick (mzwick at emory.edu<mailto:mzwick at emory.edu>), Assistant Vice President for Research, Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center, Assistant Dean of Research, Emory University School of Medicine. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Bo Liang
