UCR is establishing a new CryoEM facility within an existing Central Facility for Advanced Microscopy and Microanalysis (CFAMM) (<a href="https://cfamm.ucr.edu/">https://cfamm.ucr.edu/</a>) and is looking for an outstanding candidate to lead this endeavor (please see attached). This individual, as a UC faculty member, would have access to the 300 kV instrument at UCLA via the UCLA-based regional consortium for high resolution cryoEM (<span style="color:#1f497d"><a href="http://www.eicn.ucla.edu/wmc">www.eicn.ucla.edu/wmc</a></span>) as well as the 200kV facility we are setting up here at UCR.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">The successful candidate will join an established department with several new faculty, a vibrant undergraduate major and strong graduate program (<a href="https://biochemistry.ucr.edu/">https://biochemistry.ucr.edu/</a>), and will help recruit an Assistant Professor who uses CryoEM in the following year.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Opportunities for synergy are available with a number of other units on campus including a Bioengineering program (<a href="https://www.bioeng.ucr.edu/">https://www.bioeng.ucr.edu/</a>), a new 4-year medical school at UCR (<a href="https://medschool.ucr.edu/">https://medschool.ucr.edu/</a>), the Interdisciplinary Center for Quantitative Modeling in Biology (<a href="https://cmich004.github.io/biomath/">https://cmich004.github.io/biomath/</a>), and several interdepartmental graduate programs (including a new graduate program in Biophysics) within the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (<a href="https://cnas.ucr.edu/">https://cnas.ucr.edu/</a>).</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">The UCR campus, with over 23,000 students and one of the most diverse populations in the country (<a href="https://www.ucr.edu/">https://www.ucr.edu/</a>), is located in Riverside, home to the national historic landmark Mission Inn (<a href="https://www.missioninn.com/">https://www.missioninn.com/</a>). Riverside, with year round sunshine, is within an hours' drive of the beach, mountains and desert and has some of the most affordable housing within Southern California. It is located within a two hour’s drive of three other UC campuses (UCI, UCLA, UCSD) as well as Caltech, University of Southern California and the City of Hope.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Would you please circulate the attached notification to potentially interested colleagues?</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks!</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely,</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Richard J.
