**About the role**

We are seeking to appoint 2 Staff Scientist to join the growing Central Oxford Structural Molecular Imaging Centre (COSMIC). This is a dynamic flagship cryo-electron microscopy facility based in the Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Building in the centre of Oxford. COSMIC houses three Thermo Scientific cryo-electron microscopes: a Titan Krios with a Bioquantum K3 detector, a Talos Arctica with a Falcon 4i detector and a Talos F200C, as well as a Zeiss Crossbeam 350 FIB-SEM. Also incorporated are a humidity-controlled sample preparation room and a purpose-built server room for data processing. Additionally, we are in the process of expanding our facilities to include cryo CLEM solutions, with funding in place for cryo-fluorescence.

The Staff Scientists will work closely and report to the Microscope Facility Manager, ensuring efficient running of the facility, contributing to maintenance of the equipment, training users and engaging in collaborative research projects. They will also work with the Computational team, supporting them in building and maintaining the servers and providing user support. They will play a crucial and productive role in an outstanding and growing user facility, supporting world class research.

The two positions advertised have overlapping duties and responsibilities although one will focus primarily on support for single-particle cryoEM projects, while the other will focus primarily on cryo-tomography and cryoCLEM.

These posts are full-time and permanent.

**About you**

You should hold a minimum of a BSc, or the equivalent in a relevant area of science. You should be a well-trained, enthusiastic and proactive and self-motivated scientist with sufficient specialist knowledge in cryo-electron microscopy to be able to train others and to trouble shoot experiments (although training will be provided).
