What is a Cryo-EM job?

A Cryo-EM job typically involves using cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) to study biological molecules at near-atomic resolution. Scientists in this field prepare biological samples, operate electron microscopes, and analyze 3D structures to understand molecular functions. These roles are common in academic research, pharmaceutical companies, and structural biology labs. Skills in sample preparation, data processing, and computational analysis are often required.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Cryo Em position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Cryo-EM (Cryogenic Electron Microscopy) Specialist, you need a strong background in structural biology, electron microscopy techniques, and data analysis, typically supported by an advanced degree in a relevant scientific field. Familiarity with high-end cryo-EM instruments, image processing software such as RELION or CryoSPARC, and proper certification or hands-on training are typically required. Exceptional attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work collaboratively are essential soft skills that distinguish top candidates. These skills and qualifications are critical to ensuring high-quality data acquisition, accurate structural analysis, and effective teamwork in fast-paced research environments.

What are some typical responsibilities of a Cryo-EM Specialist during a project?

As a Cryo-EM Specialist, your typical responsibilities include preparing biological samples for imaging, operating cryogenic electron microscopes, and managing data acquisition sessions. You will also process and interpret large datasets using specialized software, troubleshoot instrument issues, and maintain detailed documentation of your experiments. Collaboration with researchers, lab staff, and multidisciplinary teams is common, as you provide expertise in experimental design and technical support. This role often involves staying current with advancements in technology and methods to ensure high-quality structural analysis.

Job description

The Molecular Diagnostics and Drug Discovery (MD3) Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), led by Dr. ukasz Jaremko, invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Fellow position. This position offers an exciting opportunity for a motivated early-career scientist to develop expertise in translational structural biology and drug discovery.


Research Focus
The successful candidate will contribute to projects focused on the structural and mechanistic characterization of biomolecular complexes relevant to cancer and other human diseases. The laboratory integrates chemical biology, biophysical, and structural approaches to elucidate molecular function and support rational drug design.


Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct independent and collaborative biochemical and biophysical research on protein structure, dynamics, and function.
  • Express, purify, and characterize recombinant proteins and complexes for X-ray, NMR, and cryo-EM.
  • Apply chemical biology tools to probe biomolecular interactions and mechanisms.
  • Participate in experimental design, data analysis, and dissemination of research findings through high-impact, peer-reviewed publications.
  • Collaborate with researchers across UTMB and partner institutions in Texas and nationwide on interdisciplinary projects in drug discovery and translational structural biology.


Preferred Background

  • Ph.D. awarded within the past five years in Structural Biology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Chemical Biology, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience in protein expression, purification, and biochemical or biophysical assays.
  • Prior exposure to structural biology methods such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, or cryo-EM is highly desirable.
  • Strong motivation to expand expertise in advanced NMR and cryo-EM techniques applied to translational research.
  • Excellent analytical, communication, and teamwork skills.

Minimum Qualifications:

Ph.D., M.D. or Doctoral equivalent in any field. Scientific research experience.


Application Materials

  • A detailed academic CV.
  • A cover letter describing research experience, interests, and motivation to join the MD3 Laboratory.
  • Names and contact information for two academic or professional references.


Salary
Commensurate with experience. 
 

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY:
UTMB Health strives to provide equal opportunity employment without regard to race, color, religion, age, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, genetic information, disability, veteran status, or any other basis protected by institutional policy or by federal, state or local laws unless such distinction is required by law.
