[3dem] Repost of SECM4 Post Doc position at Florida State University

[Kenneth Taylor]

Dear Colleagues,

The South Eastern Consortium for Microscopy of MacroMolecular Machines 
(SECM4) at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida seeks an 
expert electron microscopist with Titan Krios experience to assist with 
consortium operations. The successful applicant's role will center 
around day-to-day sample and visitor logistics, Titan operation, data 
collection and management as well as data preprocessing, and software 
maintenance as it pertains to data acquisition and preprocessing. 
Coordinating skills are necessary because both Consortium and local 
users utilize the same data collection and preprocessing pipelines as 
well as immediate data storage. Some physical capability is needed in 
order to move and position tanks of compressed and liquified gases. The 
FSU Titan Krios has a Volta Phase Plate, DE-64 direct electron detector 
with single electron counting capability and a Gatan BioQuantum energy 
filter with K3 direct electron detector. The position offers an 
excellent opportunity to gain extensive experience with a 
state-of-the-art Titan Krios and with managing a data collection 
service. Although this position is short term, there are possibilities 
through separate initiatives that if successful could lead to a 
longer-term position.

The ideal candidate would have a PhD degree, have excellent working 
knowledge of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the collection 
of Titan Krios direct electron detector data using the Leginon/Appion 
system. They would also be highly mechanically, electronically, and 
computationally inclined. Good communication and people skills are 
essential. We will consider training someone with partial 
qualifications, the right mind set, and commitment.

This is a full-time position with full health insurance but no 
retirement benefits.

FSU is an Equal Opportunity/Access/Affirmative Action/Pro Disabled & 
Veteran Employer.
