Senior Laboratory Research Scientist at The Francis Crick Institute, London

Senior Laboratory Research Scientist at The Francis Crick Institute, London

The Francis Crick Institute seeks to recruit a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) scientist to support single-particle and tomography projects.

The Senior Laboratory Research Scientist (SLRS) will be appointed to the Structural Biology Science Technology Platform (SB STP), which supports the Crick in the areas of protein science (expression and purification), biophysics, X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM and related areas. The post holder will help provide a world-class platform to contribute towards key research in collaboration with the Crick scientific community.

This is a lab-based position, responsible for driving forward cryo-EM research by providing scientific support and training in single-particle and tomography technologies.

The Crick has a state-of-the-art facility for cryo-electron microscopy and computation, consolidating excellence in these areas. The STP currently houses two Titan Krios 300kV microscopes equipped with energy filter and direct detector, complemented by a Talos Arctica and Glacios 200kV microscope and two 120kV Spirit TEM screening microscopes.

There are excellent facilities for computing and expertise in experimental and computational aspects of cryo-EM being developed through the structural biology platform with support from the Crick Scientific Computing STP.
