<h2 itemprop="description">Job Description</h2>
<p>The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is one of
the highest ranked scientific research organisations in the
world. The Headquarters Laboratory is located in Heidelberg
(Germany), with additional sites in Grenoble (France), Hamburg
(Germany), Hinxton (UK) and Monterotondo (Italy).<br>
<br>
We wish to recruit an experienced and motivated scientist to
join a team to establish and run a state-of-the-art cryo-EM
facility for structural biology on the European Photon and
Neutron (EPN) Campus in Grenoble. This is a Partnership for
Structural Biology (PSB) project together with the European
Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) and Institut de Biologie
Structurale (IBS) and involves installation of a Titan Krios
with K2 detector within the ESRF. This instrument,
complemented by other electron microscopes on campus (e.g.
Polar/K2 and F20 at IBS, T12 at EMBL), will be open for
external user access mainly for high resolution data
collection for 3D single particle reconstruction. The tasks of
the successful candidate will be to<br>
<br>
- participate in installation, commissioning and running of
the ESRF cryo-EM facility<br>
- help users in data collection and preliminary data analysis<br>
- keep up-to-date processing software and hardware in
collaboration with local IT staff <br>
- implement or develop novel methods in cryo-EM (e.g.
automation of sample handling) in collaboration with local
engineers<br>
- co-organise practical training in cryo-EM for internal and
external users.<br>
- contribute expertise to in house structural biology research
projects in collaboration with EMBL Grenoble group leaders.<br>
- liase with the electron microscopists at EMBL Heidelberg and
Hamburg.</p>
<h2 itemprop="experienceRequirements">Qualifications and
Experience</h2>
<p>Applicants should have the following qualifications<br>
<br>
- PhD degree in the physical or biological sciences<br>
- Several years demonstrable experience in cryo-electron
microscopy (including sample handling, data collection and
image processing) as applied to structural biology<br>
- Ability and desire to provide a high quality service to
users <br>
- Ability and desire to work in a collaborative international
research environment together with scientists from
collaborating EPN Campus institutes<br>
- Good communication skills in English <br>
<br>
EMBL is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering
attractive conditions and benefits appropriate to an
international research organisation with a very collaborative
and family friendly atmosphere. We strongly encourage
