Columbia University seeks an Associate Research Scientist to serve as Assistant Director for our Cryogenic Electron Microscope Core Facility (Cryo-EM Core).


Columbia University, Columbia University , United States
Application deadline: 07 Jul 2021


This state-of-the-art facility supports cryo-EM analysis of a wide variety of biological samples by a vibrant research community currently comprising ten laboratory groups and more than 50 scientists located on Columbia’s Medical School, Manhattanville, and Morningside Heights campuses. We seek an experienced Associate Research Scientist who will provide technical support for this community. While the focus of the positions will be microscope maintenance and user training, ample opportunities exist for scientific collaboration.

 

The Associate Research Scientist will participate in all of the CryoEM Core’s daily operations, including maintenance and upkeep of the electron microscopes and associated equipment, ordering supplies, interacting with vendors, and assisting the Director in managing the facility. Particular emphasis will be placed on training users in sample-preparation and cryo-EM data collection methods and supervising their use of the microscopes. Successful experience with single-particle cryo-EM structure determination and proficiency in the related data processing/analysis procedures would be a plus as would strong computational skills or experience with tomographic reconstruction. The position will offer the opportunity to co-author papers when substantive contributions are made to the research projects of facility users.
