Lecturer in Cryo-Electron Tomography

2 weeks ago

Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in cryo-electron tomography? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities? Are you passionate about delivering world leading research and an exceptional student experience?

As a Lecturer, you will carry out research, teaching and management within the school, faculty and university and contribute to academic excellence in the field of cryo-ET with specific emphasis on subjects relevant to the School. 

We aim to recruit the next generation of experts in cryo-ET to enhance our existing strengths in structural biology and to drive forward activity in an £11M philanthropic initiative based in the Cheney Biomedical Accelerator (CBA) housed within the Faculty of Biological Sciences. The CBA has a mission of “seeing into cells” and is enabled by new state-of-the art plasma focused-ion-beam microscope, two Titan Krios EMs and a dedicated PhD scheme for in situ structural biology. You will benefit from a vibrant community of researchers interested in cryo-EM and cryo-ET, and a dedicated team of facility staff to help support your research programme.

The ideal candidate will be an early to mid-career researcher who is looking for their first steps into an academic career. Your primary expertise is correlative light and electron microscopy and cryo-ET. You will have the ambition and capability to collaborate with non-experts to address complex biological questions aligned with one or more focus areas of the School - infectious disease, cancer and cell signalling, protein, structure and function.

You will join the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology, which is a vibrant academic environment composed of 55 academic staff with research strengths in communicable and non-communicable diseases, structural biology and biotechnology. You may apply to become a member of the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology, which is a multidisciplinary centre whose membership consists of >70 academics interested understanding life in molecular detail, and includes biologists, chemists, physicists and medical scientists. Finally, you will also have an opportunity to engage with scientists based at the NIHR Leeds Biomedical Research.

The University of Leeds and the Faculty of Biological Sciences are committed to providing equal opportunities for all and offer a range of family friendly policies. The University is a charter member of Athena SWAN (the national body that promotes gender equality in higher education), and the Faculty of Biological Sciences was awarded a Silver award in 2020.  We are proud to be an inclusive Faculty that values all staff, and are happy to consider job share applications and requests for flexible working arrangements from our employees.
