develop and perform TEM characterization of assembly of designed bio-molecular
arrays. The research will involve the development of new approaches for cryoEM,
cryoET, cryoSTEM, liquidEM characterization of an integration of proteins,
peptides and DNA into targeted structures with multiscale organization, and
analysis of their structure and assembly processes. The work will be conducted
in the Electron Microscopy group in the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) which
houses five state-of-the-art scanning/ transmission electron microscopes. The
majority of the work will be conducted on a FEI Environmental Titan equipped
with a K2 direct-electron detector, a FEI Talos F200X, and an
aberration-corrected dedicated STEM, first two of which have cryo-transfer,
liquid-flow, low-dose, and automated data acquisition capabilities. The
successful implementation of the work requires a close interaction with
scientists working on bio-inspired self-assembly and advanced characterization
methods using x-ray scattering.</span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span></span></span></p>
