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
