Dear all,
here is an announcement for a cryo-EM specialist position at the Centre for Integrative Biology, Strasbourg, France, to join an exciting structural
biology environment with many challenging projects. Please see below for a description.
This is also an opportunity to check whether the ccp4bb/em mailing lists work again 😉
With best regards,
Bruno Klaholz
Cryo-EM specialist position:
The CBI / IGBMC is seeking an experienced cryo-EM scientist to participate in running the cutting-edge EM facilities at
the Centre for Integrative Biology (CBI) at IGBMC, Illkirch/Strasbourg, France.
The CBI
https://www.igbmc.fr/en/plateformes-et-services/infrastructures/centre-for-integrative-biology
provides a leading-edge scientific and technological environment in integrated structural biology to address the structure and function of biological systems, notably on gene expression, from the atomic, molecular to the tissue scales. The platform for Integrated
Structural Biology at the CBI https://biostructure.igbmc.fr/ provides support for protein sample production (bacterial, eukaryotic, mammalian cell
expression etc.), characterization and structural analysis using various approaches. The CBI hosts the French and European Infrastructures for Integrated Structural Biology, FRISBI
https://frisbi.eu,
Instruct-ERIC
http://instruct-eric.com and iNext-Discovery
https://inext-discovery.eu.
The advanced cryo-EM facility comprises
cutting-edge instrumentation such as
two Titan Krios cryo electron microscopes and a Glacios cryo electron microscopes for cryo-EM and tomography,
cryo Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope (cryo-FIB/SEM) including for cryo FIB milling / lamella production, and super-resolution imaging (dSTORM).
The Titan Krios 1 microscope is equipped with K3 & Falcon 3 cameras and GIF energy filter, Volta phase plate (VPP) and Cs corrector,
the Titan Krios 2 microscope has a Falcon 4i camera, Selectris X energy filter, Volta phase plate (VPP),
the Glacios microscope has a K2 camera and a Ceta-D camera for micro electron diffraction (μED).
In addition, the EM facility has a suite of associated equipments for sample preparation (grid freezing with Vitrobot and new Chameleon high-speed freezing device, HPF etc.) and
dedicated computing resources for image analysis, processing and 3D reconstruction by single particle cryo-EM (including on-the-fly data processing), cryo electron tomography (cryo-ET) and fluorescence microscopy,
and a dedicated opto-meca micromechanics workshop for developing and prototyping new instruments.
