Dear Colleagues,
The South Eastern Consortium for Microscopy of MacroMolecular Machines
(SECM4) 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 preprocessing, 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 and position tanks of compressed and liquified gases. The
FSU Titan Krios has a Volta Phase Plate, DE-64 direct electron detector
with single electron counting capability and a Gatan BioQuantum energy
filter with K3 direct electron detector. The position offers an
excellent opportunity to gain extensive experience with a
state-of-the-art Titan Krios and with managing a data collection
service. Although this position is short term, there are possibilities
through separate initiatives that if successful could lead to a
longer-term position.
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 will consider training someone with partial
qualifications, the right mind set, and commitment.
This is a full-time position with full health insurance but no
retirement benefits.
FSU is an Equal Opportunity/Access/Affirmative Action/Pro Disabled &
Veteran Employer.
