<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for a PostDoc or Senior Scientist to join our team to explore new approaches in diffractive imaging for high-resolution cryo-EM.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The low signal-to-noise ratio in cryo-EM is limiting its performance. We explore diffractive electron imaging technologies such as Ptychography and other 4D STEM variants to improve resolution and contrast in cryo-EM. For this, we develop
novel approaches using a 300kV Titan Krios equipped with a cold-FEG, an RF cavity for GHz beam pulsing, a Cs probe corrector, the usual autoloader and Falcon4i, and followed by energy filtration and super-fast hybrid pixel electron detection.
