There is a permanent academic position as a Lecturer in cryo-ET open at the University of York. They are looking for someone who will lead a research program making the most of the stunning advances that are occurring in cryo-ET. It is a research and teaching post but with a strong focus on research in the early years. It is roughly equivalent to a tenure-track assistant professor position in the US.
The successful candidate will be a member of the York Structural Biology Laboratory (YSBL), a research centre build around ~15 structural biology groups from the Departments of Chemistry and Biology. Our Cryo-EM facility, supported by expert technical staff (Johan Turkenburg and Sam Hart), is housed in the custom-built Dodsons Building and has an energy-filter equipped Glacios and an incoming FIB-mill. YSBL is also well equipped for crystallography and protein NMR. Beyond YSBL, the Bioscience Technology Facility houses brilliant facilities for light microscopy, mass spec, and biophysics (amongst many other things!).
YSBL has a research culture that is both supportive and ambitious, which we are all enormously proud of. It is also an environment where people readily work together to achieve more than they could alone. To me, it’s a special place to work.
The successful candidate will be a member of the Department of Chemistry, ultimately teaching on the Biochemistry and Chemistry degree programs.
On a personal note, I took a similar position in 2018 and haven’t looked back since! Applicants are welcome to get in touch with me for an informal chat.
