Job DescriptionThe CryoEM Facility supports MSK laboratories that use cryoelectron microscopy as a structural biology tool. The facility contains a Titan Krios G2 microscope with Gatan K3 detector for single-particle cryoEM data collection and ancillary equipment for sample preparation. A second Krios (newest G4 generation) equipped with a Selectris X energy filter and Falcon 4i detector has just come online. The new microscope will support developments in single-particle analysis and enable future cryoEM technologies such as cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) and microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED). Facility staff will also coordinate access for MSK laboratories to the New York Structural Biology Center's cryoEM resources (multiple microscopes, sample preparation technologies, training opportunities, etc.). The facility hosts software tools for data processing, structure refinement, and modeling, and provides training and technical assistance to users of in-house equipment and remote facilities.
