The overall mission of the person in this position is to facilitate cryo-EM research at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus by managing day-to-day operations at the Macromolecular Cryo-Electron Microscopy Shared Resource Facility. The person in this position will participate in all operations at the facility, including EM specimen preparation and initial screening, operation of two state-of-the-art electron microscopes (120kV and 200kV), automated EM data collection and preliminary analysis of EM data. The Cryo-EM Manager will keep the microscopes ready for use, will set up and facilitate automated data collection, and will advise current and new facility users on all aspects of specimen preparation, data collection and initial steps of EM image processing. The person will also be responsible for basic day-to-day instrument maintenance (including ancillary equipment), and for managing microscope time booking and billing. The Cryo-EM Manager will report to (and receive training from, as needed) Prof Francisco Asturias, Director of the Cryo-EM facility. Experienced cryo-EM practitioners, as well as recent graduates, or current Research Associates with a background in structural biology, physics, or chemistry, are encouraged to apply.
Onsite – This role is expected to work onsite and is located in Aurora, CO.
Our department conducts research across a wide biological scale for fundamental scientific understanding with applications to many disease contexts. The overarching goal is to reach a level of molecular insight that helps develop therapeutic approaches to disease. As biochemists and molecular geneticists, we are amid an unprecedented time of discovery - our conception of the molecular biology of cells is going from the equivalent of grainy black-and-white to high-resolution technicolor. From deciphering the choreography of transcription complexes, chromosomes, and RNA molecules within cells to developing novel approaches to 3D molecular structure determination to understanding how viruses hijack a cell's machinery and alter its metabolome, the researchers in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics (BMG) are at the forefronts of their fields both conceptually and technologically.
