How much do internship cryo electron microscopy jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 9, 2026, the average hourly pay for internship cryo electron microscopy in the United States is $22.18, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $18.27 and $25.96 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is an internship in cryo electron microscopy?

An Internship in Cryo Electron Microscopy is a hands-on training position for students or recent graduates interested in learning about cryo-EM, a powerful imaging technique used to visualize biological molecules at near-atomic resolution. Interns typically assist with sample preparation, microscope operation, data collection, and image analysis under the guidance of experienced researchers. This internship provides valuable experience for those pursuing careers in structural biology, biochemistry, or related fields.

What is the difference between Internship Cryo Electron Microscopy vs Cryo Electron Microscopy Technician?

AspectInternship Cryo Electron MicroscopyCryo Electron Microscopy Technician
CredentialsTypically pursuing or recent graduate of relevant degreeRelevant degree or certification in microscopy or related field
Work EnvironmentEducational or research lab, internship settingResearch labs, biotech or pharmaceutical companies
ResponsibilitiesAssisting with sample prep, data collection, learning techniquesOperating cryo EM equipment, data acquisition, maintenance

Internship Cryo Electron Microscopy roles are entry-level, focused on learning and assisting in labs, often for students or recent grads. Cryo Electron Microscopy Technicians are more experienced, responsible for operating and maintaining equipment in professional research or industry settings. Both roles require knowledge of microscopy techniques, but the technician role demands more hands-on technical skills and experience.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an internship in cryo electron microscopy?

To excel in a Cryo Electron Microscopy internship, you need a solid background in biology, chemistry, or physics, typically at the undergraduate or graduate level, along with foundational laboratory skills. Familiarity with electron microscopes, image analysis software (such as RELION or CryoSPARC), and basic data processing tools is often required. Attention to detail, strong problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are vital soft skills for this position. These competencies are important to ensure accurate data collection, effective teamwork, and the advancement of research projects in a highly specialized scientific environment.

What types of hands-on experience can I expect during an internship in cryo electron microscopy?

As an intern in Cryo Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM), you can expect to participate in sample preparation, operate electron microscopes under supervision, and assist with image acquisition and data processing. You'll often collaborate closely with experienced researchers and technicians, gaining exposure to state-of-the-art instrumentation and computational analysis tools. This role provides a unique opportunity to develop practical skills in a rapidly advancing field and can serve as a valuable stepping stone for future research or technical positions in structural biology.

Duties and Responsibilities:
20% Structure-based and machine-learning immunogen design for protein subunit and mRNA vaccines based on viral surface glycoproteins (construct design, recombinant expression in mammalian cells, purification, and stability assays),
20% Characterize protein antigenicity (binding assays using ELISAs, SPR and biolayer interferometry to evaluate binding kinetics and affinity of antibodies or designed proteins),
15% Perform structural studies (high-throughput cryo-electron microscopy of subunit vaccines as well as of complexes between viral glycoproteins and monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies as well as X-ray crystallography),
10% Design and execution of virology assays,
10% Analysis of the data to help determining the research strategy,
10% Lead projects and/or major project tasks,
10% Interactions with collaborators within our network and writing of manuscripts for publication
5% Provide guidance and direction to project staff, students and postdocs
Requirements:
Master's Degree in Biochemistry or related field and four years 4 years of experience in related field like: Cryo-electron microscopy, virology assays (pseudotyped virus generation, cellular entry and neutralization assays), protein expression in mammalian cells and purification
