POSITION DESCRIPTION

Summary

The NYU Cryo-EM Core is a state-of-the-art shared resource for biomedical researchers. The Cryo-EM staff members develop and provide their knowledge and expertise to the research community at NYU Langone Health (NYULH) in applying cryo-EM imaging to their research. They work closely with investigators to define optimal experimental design including strategies for preparation of samples, maintain and operate cryo-electron microscopes and ancillary equipment in order to provide high resolution images, and provide guidance and service in data management and analysis. The successful candidate will be expected to learn new procedures as they are developed and implemented by the core.


Preferred Qualifications:

  *

     *
2-3 years of experience in cryo-EM including handling samples, using microscopes and evaluation of images; experience with Arctica or Krios would be bonus.
     *
Knowledge of the principles of transmission electron microscopy and 3D structure determination
     *
Good communication and interpersonal skills



Key elements of the job:

     *   This facility will be optimized for high throughput data collection. Fitting into a pipeline that maximizes the efficiency and productivity of the facility will be a key part of this job.
     *   The NYU research community includes inexperienced groups with potential cryo-EM projects. This job requires to implement training plans and providing support and advice to inexperienced users during the initial phase of their projects will ensure that the high- resolution pipeline will remain well utilized over the long term.
