The Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology in
The University of Colorado at Boulder, CO seeks two Professional
Research Assistants to work under the supervision of highly
experienced electron microscopists. One employee will work directly
for the Boulder Laboratory for Three-Dimensional Electron Microscopy
of Cells (BL3DEMC), while the other will work for a faculty member of
the Department. In both cases, the employees will be trained in
methods for rapid freezing of cells, freeze substitution fixation,
thin and thick sectioning of samples, and imaging in the microscope.
Projects may also require EM immunolocalization, serial thin-section
reconstructions, electron tomography of thick sections, and the
interpretation of data. The BL3DEMC employee will apply these methods
to samples from collaborations and service work with investigators
from within our department as well as across the globe. The other
employee will pursue the specific research aims of the faculty member
for whom they work, studying mainly membrane traffic in yeast cells.
The BL3DEMC (http://bio3d.colorado.edu) is a National Research
Resource equipped with conventional transmission EMs, two new
intermediate voltage TEMs, and a vintage high voltage TEM. We interact
with many other laboratories that send samples of their biological
material to be prepared for EM, imaged, and analyzed. Our goal is to
provide the scientific community with a steady stream of high quality
images to support exciting research endeavors.
Qualified candidates must have a minimum of a Bachelor's degree from
an accredited university. Experience with biological electron
microscopy is preferred. Salary will depend on experience ($30 –
35,000/year). Please send CV and three references to Ms Linda Batlin,
Dept. of M.C.D.Biology, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309-0347
(fax 303-492-7744) or by email to linda.batlin@colorado.edu. The
University of Colorado at Boulder is committed to diversity and
equality in education and employment.
