[3dem] Open Cryo-EM Facility Manager position at the University of York, UK

[Jamie Blaza]

Dear all,

We have an open position for a Cryo-EM Facility Manager. Since starting in
2021, the University of York cryo-EM facility has rapidly built momentum.
We now have an ambitious and adept user base, sustained grant income across
diverse groups, and outputs that we are very proud of. We have published
extensive single-particle data, and have a growing publication record in
cryo-ET and electron diffraction. The facility is based around a 200 kV
Glacios + Falcon-IV housed in the custom-built Eleanor and Guy Dodsons
Building. The Glacios was recently upgraded with a Selectris with funds
from the BBSRC. The post will lead our facility as we grow in situ
structural biology and take advantage of emerging methods in protein
structure prediction.

Our cryo-EM facility is a central part of the York Structural Biology
Laboratory (YSBL), a research centre of 15 active groups and several
emeritus professors, based between the Departments of Biology and
Chemistry. YSBL has a brilliant history in both structural biology methods
development and application of those methods for biological discovery. YSBL
and the wider University is a warm and supportive place to work and we are
just as proud of our research culture as we are of our scientific
achievements.

The position is open-ended. The application window closes 01/06/2026. For
informal enquiries please contact me (jamie.blaza at york.ac.uk), Dr Johan
Turkenburg (johan.turkenburg at york.ac.uk), or Dr Graeme McAllister (
graeme.mcallister at york.ac.uk).
