Principal Electron Microscopy Scientist

Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, Oxfordshire

£55,097 to £64,821 per annum, dependent upon skills and experience

Full time, permanent 

 

The electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.diamond.ac.uk/Instruments/Biological-Cryo-Imaging/eBIC.html__;!!Mih3wA!WEh43UAa00vTWCCJDUL3v6kjwmEu0xNAb2BwT_et_qkANWNIBuZRm1kcJHr8y22VRA$ > )
is the UK National Centre for cryo-electron microscopy in the life sciences.
eBIC provides scientists with state-of-the-art instruments and expertise in
the field of cryo-electron imaging, for single particle analysis,
tomography, crystallography, and cryoFIB/SEM. eBIC currently operates four
high-end Titan Krios microscopes (Falcon 3 + K3 GIF) together with a 200 keV
microscope (Talos Artica), two dual beam cryo-FIB/SIM (Scios and Aquilos)
and has up to 20% access to a Titan Krios for containment level 3 work at
OPIC in Oxford. In addition, a collaboration with Thermo Fisher provides
another Titan Krios and a 200 keV microscope (Glacios) dedicated for
industry users. 

 

Due to eBIC’s rapid growth we now have an exciting opportunity at the
group-leader level for a Principal EM Scientist to underpin and further
develop eBIC as a leading centre for cryoEM. eBIC together with B24, a
full-field cryo X-ray transmission microscopy beamline, makeup the

Biological Cryo-Imaging group at Diamond, which combined with the
capabilities of the physical science

and Microscopy group provide an extraordinarily strong platform for using
electrons, X-rays and visible light to image a diverse range of samples
across a range of length and time scales.

 

As a Principal EM Scientist at eBIC you will lead a small team of scientists
to establish a competitive research programme which exploits the
capabilities of eBIC and Diamond in general and contribute to the
development and operation of eBICs rapidly growing international user
programme. To facilitate establishing your research programme, funding for a
post-doctoral research fellow is likely to be available, subject to a
suitable case being made, as well as the opportunity for PhD studentships
within Diamond’s PhD programme. You will have access to state-of-the-art
laboratories for structural and cellular biology embedded at eBIC and within
the Research Complex at Harwell to pursue your research. We would also
expect candidates to apply for external grant funding through national and
international funding agencies to take full advantage of the stimulating and
exciting research environment at Diamond. Instrumentation and software
development is facilitated by dedicated support from Diamonds computing,
engineering and scientific software groups as well as partnerships with
CCP-EM and the recently established Rosalind Franklin Institute amongst
others.

 

Suitable candidates will have expertise and a track-record in cryoEM
methods. Strong background in cryoEM software development and/or
cryo-electron tomography and sub-tomogram averaging is desirable. 

Applicants are required to outline their suitability for this role via the
online application process and should include a summary of current and
future research plans (max 3 pages).
