Dear Colleagues,


The SouthEastern Consortium for Microscopy of MacroMolecular Machines 
(SECM^4 ) at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida seeks an 
expert electron microscopist with Titan Krios experience to assist with 
consortium operations. The successful applicant's role will center 
around day-to-day sample and visitor logistics, Titan operation, data 
collection and management as well as data pre-processing, and software 
maintenance as it pertains to data acquisition and preprocessing. 
Coordinating skills are necessary because both Consortium and local 
users utilize the same data collection and preprocessing pipelines as 
well as immediate data storage. Some physical capability is needed in 
order to move around tanks of compressed and liquified gases.


The ideal candidate would have a PhD degree, have excellent working 
knowledge of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the collection 
of Titan Krios direct electron detector data using the Leginon/Appion 
system. They would also be highly mechanically, electronically, and 
computationally inclined. Good communication and people skills are 
essential. We may consider applicants with a lower terminal degree if 
they have compensating experience. We will consider training someone 
with partial qualifications, the right mind set, and commitment.


This is a regular, full-time position with a full benefit package 
including health insurance.


FSU is an Equal Opportunity/Access/Affirmative Action/Pro Disabled & 
Veteran Employer.


The position is not yet posted on-line but will appear in about a week. 
Until it does, applicants may send their cover letter, CV, with names 
and contact information of 3 references to Kenneth Taylor 
<taylor at bio.fsu.edu>. Until the position is posted and application can 
be made on-line, please also copy your application materials to Alyssa 
White <awhite at bio.fsu.edu>.
