The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, Inc.
Research Associate - FIB-SEM
The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, Inc., Redwood City, California, United States, 94061
To develop a dynamic, integrated view of biological systems in health and disease, the
Chan Zuckerberg Institute for Advanced Biological Imaging (CZ Imaging Institute)
aims to push forward the development and application of new imaging technologies over the next 10 to 15 years. CZ Imaging Institute researchers will collaboratively develop breakthrough biological imaging systems centered around grand challenges that push the boundaries of what we can see and measure to obtain deep insights into the architecture of complex biological systems at the molecular level.
Is this the role you are looking for If so read on for more details, and make sure to apply today.As an extension of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative’s Imaging program, the CZ Imaging Institute (https://czii.org/) will create breakthrough technologies — hardware, software, biological probes, data, and platforms — that will be made available to the scientific community and adopted worldwide through a combination of direct access to the Institute, open sharing of advances, and commercial partnerships.The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced Research Associate specializing in Focused Ion Beam-Scanning Electron Microscope (FIB-SEM) to join our cutting-edge imaging facility in Redwood Shores, CA. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with researchers and scientists to develop innovative approaches in FIB-SEM, contributing to groundbreaking advancements in biological imaging.What You’ll DoPrepare biological samples for cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) using advanced techniques such as plunge freezing and high-pressure freezing.Operate and maintain plasma Focused Ion Beam-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) instruments to generate high-quality lamella in biological samples.Optimize milling processes and maximize lamella throughput across multiple research projects.Play a crucial role in our high-throughput cryoET pipeline, ensuring efficient sample preparation and data collection.Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to develop and implement novel sample preparation methods.Maintain detailed records of experiments and contribute to scientific publications and presentations.What You’ll BringBachelor's degree (minimum) in biological sciences, biophysics, or a closely related field.At least 2 years of hands-on experience using FIB-SEM microscopes.Strong background in cell biology or other relevant scientific discipline.Demonstrated ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams comprising biologists and microscopists.Proven problem-solving skills with the ability to adapt current methods to address novel challenges.Eagerness to learn and master new methodologies on state-of-the-art equipment.Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.Nice to havePrior experience in preparing lamella on vitrified biological samples.Familiarity with Thermo Fisher Scientific FIB-SEMs and Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs).Experience implementing automation in lamella-preparation workflows.Master's degree in a relevant field.CompensationLeveling = 1 - 2Research Associate I = $52,000 - $77,000Research Associate II = $67,000 - $99,000New hires are typically hired into the lower portion of the range, enabling employee growth in the range over time. To determine starting pay, we consider multiple job-related factors including a candidate’s skills, education and experience, market demand, business needs, and internal parity.What We Provide
Resources to collaboratively develop breakthrough biological imaging systems that push the boundaries of what we can see and measure.An environment where nothing is considered impossible, where bold and creative thinking are the norm, and where a collaborative culture allows teams of people from multiple disciplines to accomplish more than any single person can achieve alone.Access to collaborators and resources at partner organizations in the CZ Biohub Network and beyond.Competitive compensation and benefits commensurate with experience.We offer a robust benefits program that enables the important work employees do every day. Our benefits include healthcare coverage, life and disability insurance, commuter subsidies, family planning services with fertility care, childcare stipend, 401(k) match, flexible time off and a generous parental leave policy.The CZ Biohub Network is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity of thought, ideas and perspectives. We are committed to cultivating an inclusive organization where all employees feel inspired and know their work makes an important contribution.Pursuant to the California Fair Chance Act, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
