    Position description
    Specialist in Cryo-EM Structural Biology

    The Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (IND) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is seeking an outstanding and motivated individual to join our cutting-edge research institute aimed at discovering new therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.

    The successful incumbent will contribute and help manage our cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structural biology program focused on deciphering the structural basis for neurodegenerative diseases, including, Alzheimer's disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease (PD).

    This position is a part of the Institutes broad focus on developing a highly skilled and multidisciplinary team to discover the causes of disease, and develop effective pharmacologic treatments, cures and diagnostic markers for these diseases.

    The IND cryo-EM facility is state of the art and includes a Titan Krios, Glacios, and L120C transmission EM instruments.

    Additional advanced instruments including a Krios G4 and plasma FIB-SEM have recently been purchased as a part of plans to develop an additional 3,000 sq.

    ft. facility in 2022. The IND is directed by Nobel Laureate Dr.

    Stanley Prusiner and located at the Sandler Neurosciences Center at UCSF's Mission Bay campus, a world-renowned hub of biomedical research and discovery.

    The successful applicant will be an experienced structural biology researcher with expertise in cryo-EM research and in the operation and support of an electron microscope facility, including personnel training, data collection and processing.
