Description:

Standard schedule is approximately 8:00 AM-5:00 PM, Monday-Friday, with a generally consistent schedule expected. The ideal candidate is an early-career structural biologist with strong, hands-on cryo-EM data-processing experience and enough scientific computing/programming proficiency to develop practical tools that improve and automate scientific data workflows.

The manager is prioritizing scientific and structural-biology depth over traditional software-development expertise; candidates should understand cryo-EM data and be comfortable working beyond basic GUI/tutorial-driven workflows, including command-line environments and high-performance computing (HPC).

Python is preferred, but other programming languages are acceptable. A recent PhD is ideal, although candidates with a master's degree plus relevant experience will also be considered.

Job Details:

We are seeking a Scientist to develop robust, user-centered automation workflows for cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) data processing, reporting, and scientific decision support.

This scientist will combine practical understanding of structural biology and cryoEM workflows with strong computational skills to leverage AI to reduce manual documentation, improve data traceability, and create standardized, reusable analysis tools.

Required qualifications:

Deep training in cryoEM data processing (single particle analysis, tomography or microED)

Familiarity with EPU and CryoSPARC software packages

Familiarity with working at the Linux command line to control data processing programs without GUIs

Experience developing scripts, data-processing pipelines, reports, or scientific visualizations

Strong documentation and reproducible-development practices

Solid record of scientific publications, presentations or technology innovation

Highly organized, with great attention to detail, strong communication and excellent interpersonal skills

Ability to work collaboratively with experimental and computational scientists Preferred qualifications:

Experience in at least one programming language is preferred but not strictly required

Experience with version control (Git)

Ability to translate scientific user needs into practical software requirements

Experience with x-ray crystallography data processing

Experience with Relion, Pymol, ChimeraX, XDS, Refmac, Coot, or similar software packages Top 3

Skills:

Deep expertise in cryoEM data processing (single particle analysis, tomography or Microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED)) for structural biology applications

Experience developing custom data analysis pipelines utilizing scripting and multiple programs for cryoEM data analysis

Familiarity with working in high-performance computing clusters and at the Linux command line
