3D Electron Diffraction Specialist (Cryo-EM Core Facility)

Quick Facts

• Role: 3D Electron Diffraction Specialist (Cryo-EM core facility)

Description

The cryo-EM core facility aims to establish a 3D electron diffraction (3D ED) methodology to routinely characterize small molecules and determine their absolute configuration. The specialist will build and develop the local 3D ED workflow—from sample preparation and screening through data collection, data analysis, and data administration—producing high-resolution 3D ED structure determinations. The role also includes scientific reporting and communicating results with IOCB researchers, as well as helping users learn the workflow and maintaining documentation.
