Manager in Cryo-Electron Microscopy Facility
A permanent position is available in the
Cryo-Electron Microscopy Facility in the Astbury
Centre for Structural Molecular Biology at Leeds
University, UK. The main task of the appointment
is to supervise and support use of a Tecnai F20
FEG microscope. Salary will be up to £39k (~$74k)
p.a. depending on experience.
Biological electron microscopy at Leeds has 5
TEMs, including the Tecnai F20 cryo-microscope
with 4k CCD camera. This microscope also has a
GIF post-column energy filter with 2k CCD camera
and is equipped for fully automated operation
with Leginon and for tomography. The facilities
are mainly used for single particle studies, but
also for time-resolved cryo-EM and a broad range
of other methods. Computing resources include a
150 processor linux cluster.
Experience with cryo-EM and single particle image
processing is desirable, but applications from
other relevant disciplines, such as materials
science and physics, are encouraged.
Leeds University has one of the largest and most
vigorous structural biology groups in Britain
(see www.astbury.leeds.ac.uk). The University has
25000 undergraduates, 5000 postgraduates and
Leeds is a thriving city. The surrounding
countryside is outstandingly beautiful.
