What is a cryo?

A Cryo job typically involves working with cryogenic technology, which deals with the production, storage, and application of extremely low temperatures. This can include roles in medical cryotherapy, cryogenic engineering, or handling liquid gases like nitrogen and oxygen in industrial settings. Responsibilities vary but often include operating specialized equipment, ensuring safety protocols, and maintaining cryogenic systems.

What does a cryo do?

As a Cryo technician or specialist, your daily tasks often include monitoring and refilling cryogenic storage tanks, maintaining precise temperature records, and ensuring all samples are safely and accurately logged. You may be responsible for troubleshooting equipment issues, adhering to stringent safety guidelines, and collaborating with researchers, laboratory staff, or medical professionals to coordinate sample transfers. Often, you'll also conduct regular maintenance and inspections of storage systems to avoid contamination or equipment failures. This role requires meticulous recordkeeping and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team within clinical, research, or industrial environments.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a cryo?

To thrive as a Cryo technician or specialist, you need a solid understanding of cryogenic systems, laboratory protocols, and relevant safety standards, typically requiring a technical diploma or science degree. Familiarity with cryogenic equipment, such as liquid nitrogen storage tanks and temperature monitoring systems, along with certifications like HAZMAT or OSHA training, is often necessary. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving capabilities, and effective communication skills help you excel in maintaining sample integrity and coordinating with research teams. These skills ensure proper handling and storage of sensitive biological materials, essential for supporting research, clinical applications, or industrial processes.

IBBR is a joint research enterprise of the University of Maryland, College Park, the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. IBBR leverages state-of-art integrative methods for bioanalytical, biophysical and structural characterization of biomolecules: cryo-electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, x-ray crystallography, small angle neutron and x-ray scattering and mass spectrometry. IBBR researchers seek to advance therapeutic development, biomanufacturing, and state-of-the-art measurement technologies, to support accelerated delivery of safe and effective medicines to the public. IBBR is a major initiative and supported in part by the University of Maryland Strategic Partnership: MPowering the State (MPower), an initiative designed to achieve innovation and impact through collaboration.
Job Description Summary:
The candidate will join NIH-funded research focused on understanding immune responses to viral pathogens in support of vaccine and immunotherapeutics development. Projects may involve a variety of experimental approaches, including structural characterization of antibody-antigen interactions using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and/or X-ray crystallography, immunological profiling of antibody responses following natural infection and vaccination, and structure-function studies investigating mechanisms of viral entry.
Minimum Qualifications:
Applicants must hold a PhD in biophysics, biochemistry, structural biology, or a closely related discipline.
