About this job
JOB DESCRIPTION: The Robert P. Apkarian Integrated Electron Microscopy Core at Emory seeks to appoint an enthusiastic, motivated, and experienced cryo-electron microscopist at the associate scientist level. The associate scientist will develop and support service offerings in cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) built around the JEOL JEM-1400 120 kV TEM and the JEOL JEM-2200FS 200 kV FEG-TEM with in-column energy filter and Direct Electron DE-20 direct electron detector. Additional preparative equipment available for (cryo-)EM and ET processing of cellular specimens includes a Baltec HPM-010 high-pressure freezer, a Leica cryo-ultramicrotome, and a Leica freeze substitution device. The facility will enable research from existing investigators at Emory with established strengths in cell biology, bacteriology, virology, and structural biology, as well as new investigators from across Emory and the Atlanta area. This facility will be strongly supported by the institutional commitment to advance cryo-EM at Emory University.
Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
1) Provide excellent maintenance and operation of installed equipment to ensure high performance of the electron microscopes and generation of high quality cryo-EM data.
2) Establish robust pipelines to support investigators in project development and provide outstanding service, including: training new users, facilitating negative stain and cryo-EM sample preparation and image acquisition, and providing guidance in data processing and analysis.
3) Work closely with the EM core advisory committee to identify future strategic opportunities for infrastructure investment or partnership with other research institutions.
Inquiries regarding this position should be made to Michael E. Zwick (mzwick@emory.edu), Assistant Vice President for Research, Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center, Assistant Dean of Research, Emory University School of Medicine.

Laboratory experience will be based on area of assignment. Internship experience or experience prior to attaining the qualifying degree is not considered eligible work experience for this job classification.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: A PhD is required with demonstrated experience in all aspects of cellular and macromolecular resolution structure determination using cryo-EM, including sample preparation, image acquisition, and data processing and analysis. Strong communication, technical, and teaching skills are essential for this position. Previous collaborative experience and/ or user training in cryo-EM would be an advantage. Applicants should provide a brief statement of relevant research experience in cryo-EM, a CV and three reference letters. Any inquiries should be sent to the contact below.
