<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">The Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) seeks a tenure-track Staff Scientist to become the “computational heart” of cryo-EM/ET processing pipelines at the institute.
ISTA is a constantly growing international institute for conducting frontier research in life sciences, mathematics, computer science & physical sciences located within a beautiful campus on the outskirts of Vienna. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">Staff scientists are fully trained researchers who provide domain-specific skills, expertise and experience not usually present within research groups. Staff scientist positions
at ISTA are independent of a particular research group, and thus staff scientists are free and encouraged to work with any research group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">We are searching for a Staff Scientist with expertise in developing computational analysis workflows of cryo-electron microscopy/electron tomography data. The Staff Scientist
should strengthen ties between structural biology groups (such as the Michael, Bernecky and Schur groups) where a staff scientist might act as a knowledge hub for devising novel software. While the staff scientist will be associated with ISTA’s Electron Microscopy
facility, one can foresee interactions with the Imaging & Optics and Scientific Computing facilities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">The core responsibilities of the staff scientist will be to innovate cryo-EM/ET data analysis using conceptually novel computational approaches, to collaborate with research
groups focused on EM approaches, and to potentially guide users through comprehensive structure determination processes. The staff scientist will also work with the IT department on data-centric operations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
