Dear colleagues,

I would like to bring to your attention of a new position in case you are interested or know someone who might be have interest in it.
---------------------

Position for a Cryo-EM Data Analysis Specialist
The Cryo-EM Center at the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI) seeks a scientist to enrich its scientific activities. The newly-built Center is purposefully geared for addressing fundamental questions in biomedical sciences and for performing high-resolution cryo-EM structure-based drug design. The successful candidate will play a significant role in the Center and work with a group of PhD-level scientists on different scientific directions.
A successful candidate is expected to be a highly motivated scientist with strong skills in cryo-EM image analysis, 3D reconstruction, and cryo-EM-based model building, refinement and validation. Preferences will be given to those with graduate and/or postdoctoral training in structure determination using high-resolution cryo-EM. Skills in computational system management and optimization for workflow of data analysis will be highly valued. Knowledge in biological systems or bench experiences will be a plus. The candidate preferentially should hold a PhD degree in structural biology, biochemistry or biophysics, or have demonstrated solid practical training in cryo-EM data analysis by postdoctoral publications. The successful candidate will work with different teams of commercial or academic scientists, and thus must demonstrate good interpersonal skills, effective time management in a multitasking setting, strong commitment to achieving preset goals in a timely fashion, and sound ethics in science and professional activities.
The position will be based at HWI in Buffalo, NY (https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.hwi.buffalo.edu__;!!Mih3wA!Sve6RN-XF3mhocLV3M0DTgsgpMWWde7u07HDteMoeOwwowSyMcLY7WDGkQPCu9QWGw$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.hwi.buffalo.edu__;!!Mih3wA!Sve6RN-XF3mhocLV3M0DTgsgpMWWde7u07HDteMoeOwwowSyMcLY7WDGkQPCu9QWGw$ >). It is equivalent to a research assistant professorship in the university setting with a fraction of time reserved for R&D activity, which will qualify the candidate to apply for external funding. Compensation level will be commensurate with candidate’s experiences and qualifications. For a candidate currently living out of the area, relocation support may be provided.

Benefits: This is a full-time position coming with our generous fringe package that entails health insurance, dental and vision coverage, and a retirement plan with a 6% employer contribution after one year of service.
Preferred start date:                         July 1st, 2021. The position will remain open until being filled.
Initial application deadline:             May 14th, 2021.
To apply, please send in a combined pdf file a copy of your CV detailing previous working experiences and research achievements, a one-page statement about your interest in the position and your plan in career development, and names and contact information of three references by email to Dr. Qiu-Xing Jiang (qxjiang at hwi.buffalo.edu<mailto:qxjiang at hwi.buffalo.edu>), or by mail to: 700 Ellicott Street, Buffalo, NY 14203, USA.
