Cryo-EM Support Scientist

The University of Glasgow is seeking to appoint a Cryo-EM Support Scientist to join the School of School of Infection & Immunity.
The postholder will join us at the Scottish Centre for Macromolecular Imaging (SCMI, ). The SCMI is a consortium of 4 Scottish universities with an interest in cryo-EM – University of Dundee, University of Edinburgh, University of St Andrews and University of Glasgow, where we are based. We deliver high-quality single particle and tomography data to users from our consortium partners and externally using our flagship CRYO ARM 300 microscope. We also run a sample preparation laboratory and microscopes for negative staining and cryo-screening. These are mostly used by users from University of Glasgow in our role as their local cryo-EM facility, but are also available for external use. The work is varied, with many projects and users coming through the facility. On average, we have around 30 active users each year, from total beginners through to experienced principal investigators.
The primary role of this post will be to manage operations in our sample preparation laboratory and support our users and other facility staff to conduct cryo-EM experiments and collect high quality data.
The postholder will be an emerging scientist looking to gain experience in biological imaging and structural biology.
