Posted on behalf of Professor Roll-Mecak:
The laboratory of Professor Roll-Mecak is currently seeking an outstanding
individual to join their team as Senior Scientist in Cryo-Electron
Microscopy at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
in Bethesda. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary group
with expertise in molecular biology, protein biochemistry, X-Ray
crystallography and high-resolution fluorescence microscopy with a mission
to provide molecular insights into important cytoskeletal regulators. The
lab has regular access to a state-of-the art cryo-EM facility which
includes a Titan Krios with a K2 direct electron detector with energy
filter and will soon add a 200 kV Talos Arctica.
The Senior Scientist will:
- Bring innovative structural biology technologies, with a focus on
cryo-EM as a method for novel protein structure determination
- Design and conduct experiments for all aspects of structure
determination by Cryo-EM, including grid preparation, data collection and
processing and 3-D model building.
- Work closely with molecular biologists, protein scientists,
biophysicists as part of an integrated structural biology effort
- Interface with the central trans-NIH cryo-EM facility for optimal data
collection strategies
- Training, assisting and overseeing scientists in the group in sample
preparation for cryo-EM, data collection and image processing
- Contribute to the strategic planning of our group in cryo-EM
*Qualifications*
- A minimum of a Ph.D. or equivalent is required
- Postdoctoral experience in structural biology or related field is
required
- A minimum of 3 years of research experience in single particle
cryo-electron microscopy in industry or an academic institution is required
- Deep scientific expertise in structural biology and high-resolution
structure determination is required
- Strong record of external publications and presentations is required
- Experience in scientific programming and ability to work with the
latest relevant software packages
- Experience in cryo-electron tomography a plus
- Skills in working and communicating with scientists at all levels
Salary and benefits are generous and commensurate with research experience
and accomplishments. The DC area is a great place to live with access to
many cultural and outdoors activities. NINDS offers a rich and diverse
scientific environment and the resources on campus are unparalleled. More
