<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">As many of you know, we have been building a cryo-EM facility at Michigan State University. I am happy to announce that we recruited Dr. Kelly Kim to join us as a tenure track
junior faculty member! Yay Kelly </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Apple Color Emoji"">😃</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> Go Green!</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">However, we did not yet fill our second position, and are re-opening the search. I am attaching the link below. We are seeking a second tenure track faculty member interested
in cryo-EM related to biology. Please help me by passing on the advertisement information to qualified individuals looking for a faculty position in this area. Alternatively, send me any names you think of and I can reach out to folks directly.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Our facility is now fully setup with a Talos Arctica outfitted with a phase plate and a Falcon 3 camera. Additionally, we have on hand all the necessary auxiliary equipment for
cryo-EM imaging and data storage (keep a lookout for our facility’s website—it will go live at the end of the month). We are already collecting high resolution data and are looking forward to welcoming another new colleague to join our group.
