<div class="">Director, Yale University Cryo-EM Resource<br class="">
<br class="">
Continuing a distinguished history of excellence in structural biology, Yale University now seeks a Research Scientist to direct its new University Electron Cryomicroscopy Resource. The Resource will house a Titan Krios microscope with energy filter, direct
electron detectors and phase plate; the addition of a Talos Arctica is anticipated in the near future.<br class="">
<br class="">
The Director will provide scientific leadership, management, and day-to-day direction of the Resource. The incumbent will collaborate with and support researchers from across the campus, many of whom already employ cryo-EM, by providing support and guidance
in experimental design, data collection, data quality, and computational analysis as well as assisting in detailed structural analyses of biological macromolecules and complexes.<br class="">
<br class="">
The Director will report to the offices of the Deputy Provost for Research and the YSM Deputy Dean for Academic and Scientific Affairs, with oversight by an Advisory Committee composed of senior faculty. <br class="">
<br class="">
The Director should hold a PhD or equivalent degree in biology, chemistry, physics, biophysics, structural biology or a closely related field at the time of hire. The successful candidate should have previous experience in high-resolution structural analysis
of macromolecules using cryo-EM including sample preparation and computational analysis with current and customized software; demonstrated competence in setting up, maintaining, and coordinating computational support for cryo-EM data acquisition and analysis; and
experience in the optimization and use of current generation electron microscopes such as the Titan Krios.<br class="">
<br class="">
Interested applicants should submit a CV, cover letter and three professional references to: Cryo-EM Committee, <a href="mailto:cryo.em@yale.edu" class="">cryo.em@yale.edu</a>. Review of applications will begin on August 1, 2016 and continue until the position
is filled.<br class="">
<br class="">
Yale University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. Yale values diversity among its students, staff, and faculty and strongly welcomes applications from women, persons with disabilities, protected veterans, and underrepresented minorities.</div>
