Position: Professional Research Assistant
Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
A Professional Research Assistant position is available at the Boulder
Laboratory
for Three-Dimensional Electron Microscopy of Cells (BL3DEMC) at the
University
of Colorado at Boulder, CO. The work will focus on structural analysis of
biological
specimens, using three-dimensional imaging of frozen-hydrated specimens
(cryo-
electron tomography).
The successful candidate will be trained by highly experienced electron
microscopists
in techniques for rapid-freezing, electron tomography of ice-embedded
samples,
computational image processing and data interpretation. The employee will
pursue the
specific research aims of facility members and will interact with scientific
collaborators
from within our department and around the globe. The BL3DEMC
(http://bio3d.colorado.edu)
is a National Research Resource equipped with conventional transmission EMs
and two
new intermediate voltage TEMs. The TEM used for cryo-EM work is a state of
the art
FEI/Philips Tecnai F30-FEG with GATAN energy-filter.
Candidates must have a minimum of a Bachelor's degree from an accredited
university,
should enjoy working as part of an energetic team, and should be good at
multitasking.
