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.

Job description

Position Overview

The MIT Department of Biology seeks a collaborative and highly motivated Cryo-FIB/SEM Staff Scientist to join the CryoEM Facility at MIT.nano. This role is uniquely dedicated to spearheading the adoption of next-generation plasma FIB milling and in situ structural biology at MIT, acting as the primary lead for our newly installed HydraBio plasma FIB/SEM.

While the CryoEM Facility supports a wide range of structural biology techniques, this position is focused primarily on advancing our cellular and tissue imaging capabilities. You will lead workflows utilizing fluorescence‑guided targeting via the integrated Delmic METEOR microscope, high‑precision milling, and sample lift‑out. The successful candidate will blend hands‑on HydraBio operation, scientific collaboration, and independent method development to shape the future of high‑resolution cryo‑ET and volume EM research in the Cambridge/Boston area.

Responsibilities
  • Serve as the primary HydraBio plasma FIB/SEM expert; provide hands‑on training, experimental design consultation, and active troubleshooting for cryo‑ET and volume EM workflows.
  • Spearhead advanced cryo‑FIB/ET methods (e.g., lift‑out, targeted milling) and publish innovative findings in peer‑reviewed journals.
  • Partner on projects to deliver expert sample preparation, milling, tomography, and preliminary data processing/reconstruction.
  • Perform routine instrument calibrations, coordinate vendor servicing, and oversee lab infrastructure (LN2, data storage).
  • Lead facility tours, workshops, and contribute to scientific community engagement.
Requirements
  • Independent authorization to work in the US. Visa sponsorship is not available.
