We are looking for a team leader to join the cryo-EM facility work at the new Ernst Ruska-Centre 2.0 at the Forschungszentrum Jülich. We have a series of microscopes used by (@irene-vercellino.bsky.social, Schröder, @sachsegroup.bsky.social) and external users. www.fz-juelich.de/de/karriere/...

🌟 WeINSPIREBio is hosting its first event! On Dec 4, we’re running a webinar: Structures of Success: Career Journeys of Women in Structural Biology If you work in SB, drug discovery, or just like hearing career stories from brilliant people, join us! And please share 🙏🏼 lnkd.in/ewjD5WPt #cryoEM

Grateful to have received the Wilhelm und Else Heraeus-Stiftung Research Fellowship, to support my group’s work at the Ernst Ruska-Centre (ER-C) of Forschungszentrum Jülich #cryoem
