Research Scientist Position in the Cryo-Electron Microscopy Facility at
the New York Structural Biology Center
The New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC) seeks an experienced
electron microscopist to join the staff of its Cryo-Electron Microscope
Facility (http://cryoem.nysbc.org). The NYSBC is shared center that
supports state-of-the-art research in cryo-EM, NMR, and X-ray. Cryo-EM
facilities include four transmission electron microscopes and a new
dual-beam scanning electron microscope, which support projects involving
electron tomography, single particle analysis and electron
crystallography of both stained and frozen-hydrated samples. In general,
projects focus on 3D reconstruction of biological assemblies and
examples range from the atomic structure of membrane proteins, to the
subunit organization in macromolecular complexes and the cellular
anatomy within the developing nematode. Implementation of new
technologies is an ongoing interest at NYSBC and, with the dual-beam
microscope, NYSBC plans to expand the scale of 3D reconstructions to
encompass the characterization of entire cells and their distributions
within their native tissue. To assist in these developments, NYSBC seeks
a individual with postdoctoral experience in biological electron
microscopy and image reconstruction. This individual will carry out
experiments in support of collaborative projects with affiliated
investigators, including EM sample preparation, data collection and
image processing. Day-to-day duties also include assisting a wide range
of users from the NYSBC's ten Member Institutions and setup and
maintenance of microscopes. The individual should be capable of
multitasking and should enjoy working with other people. Good
communication skills are essential. Qualified applicants should send a
curriculum vitae and names of three references to David Stokes
(stokes at nysbc.org). Salary is commensurate with experience. The position
is currently open and applications will be reviewed continuously until
the position is filled.
