[Marcus FISLAGE]

Dear all,

The VIB Center for Structural Biology (CSB) in Brussels seeks to recruit a Cryo-electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) scientist to support and develop single-particle and tomography projects.
The research scientist will be appointed to the VIB-VUB facility for Bio Electron Cryogenic Microscopy (BECM, https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.becm.be__;!!Mih3wA!Wai5vOORwnc6Y3TRGy4Tz3-mZyKL5KOXNzADeqieI-DWcAKxWArUL6Ho2FM0Aa78WA$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.becm.be__;!!Mih3wA!Wai5vOORwnc6Y3TRGy4Tz3-mZyKL5KOXNzADeqieI-DWcAKxWArUL6Ho2FM0Aa78WA$ >), which serves as technology platform for CSB.
BECM has a state-of-the-art facility for cryo-electron microscopy and houses a JEOL cryoARM300 equipped with in-column energy filter, phase plate and K3 detector and is complemented by two screening JEOL JEM-1400 120 kV microscopes. The facility was established in 2018 and serves a large community of users including users from VIB, Belgium and Europe from academia and industry.
