The Department of Structural Biology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital seeks an experienced high-level scientist for its state-of-the art cryo-electron microscopy facility. The facility currently houses three Thermo Scientific cryo-TEM microscopes, a Titan Krios, Talos Arctica and Talos L120C. The facility’s Titan Krios and Talos Artica are both equipped with a Gatan K3 direct electron detector and BioQuantum imaging filter. The institution’s strategic plan includes expansions across a range of frontiers, beginning with the addition of a second Titan Krios to fuel new initiatives in cryo-electron tomography. The cryo-electron microscopy center serves a vibrant community of scientists using both single-particle and tomographic methods to determine structures of molecules and their assemblies to support both basic science discoveries and the identification of new strategies of therapeutic potential.
Duties of the Sr. scientist position include day-to-day facility management, microscope maintenance, sample preparation, data collection, user training for data analysis, and collaboration with research groups.
