The cryoEM team at Genentech is looking for a new colleague.
They are looking for an electron microscopist to join their department of Structural Biology as a Senior or Principal System Specialist. You would join their core cryoEM team, who is responsible for running microscopes and ancillary equipment, collecting high-quality data, optimizing image processing workflows, helping researchers optimize their samples for cryoEM, and generally collaborating with structural biologists to enable structure determination of a wide range of targets. You would support a mix of company-wide drug discovery projects in several therapeutic areas, as well as collaborative research and technology development projects (hardware and software). They are hoping to identify candidates who have experience with both single-tilt as well as tilt-series data collection (i.e. both cryoEM and cryoET).
The cryoEM facility at Genentech houses two Titan Krios microscopes equipped with energy filters and direct detectors (Bioquantum K3; SelectrisX Falcon4), a Talos 200C equipped with CetaD, and a Glacios equipped with a K2, as well as the usual ancillary equipment for sample preparation and plunge-freezing, including Vitrobot and Leica GP2. It benefits from generous, centralized, high-performance computing and data storage resources.
