Overview
The University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine invites applications for a Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) Facility Manager to oversee operations of its cutting-edge structural biology core housing a JEOL CRYO ARM™ 300 II transmission electron microscope. This is a unique opportunity to lead a high-end cryo-EM facility and support transformative research in biomedical sciences. The Facility Manager will play a key role in maintaining the microscope and supporting investigators in single-particle cryo-EM, cryo-tomography, and sample preparation workflows. The University of South Florida is a preeminent public research university with a strong commitment to innovation, translational science, and community impact. The Morsani College of Medicine is investing in structural biology and cryo-EM as a cornerstone of biomedical research. The JEOL CRYO ARM™ 300 II microscope is part of USF’s strategic initiative to offer world-class imaging capabilities to faculty and collaborators.
Responsibilities
Manage the day-to-day operation of the cryo-EM facility, including the JEOL CRYO ARM™ 300 II microscope and associated equipment.
Provide user training in cryo-sample preparation, microscope operation, and data acquisition (using SerialEM or JEOL-specific platforms).
Develop and implement standard operating procedures for high-throughput and high-resolution data collection.
Collaborate with researchers in experimental design, data processing (e.g., RELION, cryoSPARC), and interpretation of results.
Troubleshoot instrument performance, coordinate service and maintenance with JEOL engineers.
Maintain detailed usage logs, billing records, and budget tracking for the core facility.
Contribute to research proposals, publications, and core facility development plans.
Organize workshops and educational programs to promote cryo-EM access and literacy within the USF research community.
