The Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis at The University of Western Australia is seeking a passionate scientist with experience in cryoTEM and its applications to join our team supporting a brand new cryoTEM facility – the first of it’s kind in Western Australia.
Under broad direction, as a member of the electron microscopy team, you will be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the cryoTEM and related sample preparation instrumentation, providing advice, user training, and support for the new facility. You will join an interdisciplinary team of academic and technical staff running a core electron microscopy facility housing SEM, TEM, FIB-SEM, and EPMA. With the other members of the team, you will contribute to supporting a broad and diverse user community of biological and physical scientists seeking to develop and apply imaging and diffraction techniques, including routine room temperature and cryo imaging, single particle analysis, tomography, and micro-electron diffraction.
This position will offer you an exciting opportunity to develop diverse new applications of cryoTEM and associated techniques within the research community, and to establish cryoTEM as a core capability supporting Western Australian research.
Closing Date for Applications: 7th March 2021
