Detail information about job Electron Microscopy Facility Manager. Terms and conditions vacancy

The Department of Life Sciences was the top ranked university department in the UK for research intensity in Biological Sciences in REF2014 (Times Higher Education), scoring 100% on our environment.

Applications are invited for the post of Electron Microscopy Facility Manager with a focus on cryo-TEM in Life Sciences in the Centre for Structural Biology, at our South Kensington Campus. The Electron Microscopy Facility (EM Facility) provides state-of-the-art instrumentation for structural studies from molecules to cells using electron cryo-microscopy single-particle and tomography techniques. The Facility houses a Tecnai F20 with Falcon II camera, T12 with TVIPS CMOS camera, CM200 with TVIPS CCD camera, and T12 spirit with CCD camera, with plans to expand with an additional flagship microscope. The Facility is used by the vibrant South Kensington research community and currently serves over 50 users from the College.

The post holder will have a passion for excellence in electron microscopy of biological samples. Contributing to the management of the EM Centre, they will be responsible for its smooth running, ensuring that users meet the training requirements and that equipment is in excellent condition. The post holder will provide expertise in electron microscopy, operating an efficient service for users, and providing strategic leadership for future. They will also be responsible for training users, and will support users in their research activities.
