• Meet with structural biologists to understand current workflows, identify pain points, and translate scientific needs into clear software requirements.
• Develop, test, document, and maintain software tools to support structural biology experiments.
• Implement reproducible software practices, including GitLab version control, code review, testing, dependency management, release documentation, and user instructions.
• Validate tools against representative datasets; troubleshoot failures; and refine workflows based on scientist feedback.
• Maintain clear documentation of assumptions, input requirements, limitations, data provenance, and expected outputs.
• Present progress, tool demonstrations, technical recommendations, and concise literature or technology evaluations to scientific stakeholders.

 
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 Must Have Skill Sets:

• 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
