currently seeking an outstanding individual to join their team as Senior Scientist
in Cryo-Electron Microscopy at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders
and Stroke in Bethesda. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary
group with expertise in molecular biology, protein biochemistry, X-Ray
crystallography and high-resolution fluorescence microscopy with a mission to
provide molecular insights into important cytoskeletal regulators. The lab has
regular access to a state-of-the art cryo-EM facility which includes a Titan
Krios with a K2 direct electron detector with energy filter and will soon add a
