<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="">The VIB Center for Structural Biology (CSB) in Brussels seeks to recruit a Cryo-electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) scientist to support and develop single-particle and tomography projects.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The research scientist will be appointed to the VIB-VUB facility for Bio Electron Cryogenic Microscopy (BECM,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="">BECM has a state-of-the-art facility for cryo-electron microscopy and houses a JEOL cryoARM300 equipped with in-column energy filter, phase plate and K3 detector and is complemented by two screening JEOL JEM-1400
120 kV microscopes. The facility was established in 2018 and serves a large community of users including users from VIB, Belgium and Europe from academia and industry.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
