NeCEN is looking for a highly talented scientist preferably experienced in cryo-electron microscopy who would like to contribute to the performance of an advanced cryo-EM centre at a world-class level.
You will maintain optimal equipment performance and collect high-quality data as part of a team. You will be primarily responsible for sample loading, alignment, and data acquisition on the two Titan Krios microscopes, a Talos L120C TEM and an Aquilos Cryo-FIB to prepare cryo-lamellae for tomography. Additionally, EM scientists at NeCEN are offered to perform collaborative research and technical development (approx. 20% of the time) to help ensure NeCEN remains at the forefront of electron microscopy. Key responsibilities include:
We offer a full-time position with a maximum of three years, depending on experience. Salary range, depending on education and work experience, from €2,579,- to €4,274,- (pay scale 8 to 10 in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities) gross per month, based on a full-time appointment.

NeCEN is part of the Faculty of Science of Leiden University and is embedded in the Institute of Biology Leiden (IBL). It is integrated with other imaging groups in the Netherlands (NEMI) and located in Leiden, in close vicinity to Amsterdam and The Hague. Opportunities are provided for further professional development of cryo-EM skills and data processing through courses, training, meetings, and conferences within the field of cryo-EM. NeCEN participates in international research and development projects aimed at providing access to highly advanced infrastructure for Structural Biology, and in that framework collaborates closely with other advanced electron microscopy sites in Europe to enhance technical performance and access.
The Faculty of Science is a world-class faculty where staff and students work together in a dynamic international environment. It is a faculty where personal and academic development are top priorities. Our people are committed to expand fundamental knowledge by curiosity and to look beyond the borders of their own discipline; their aim is to benefit science, and to make a contribution to addressing the major societal challenges of the future.
The research carried out at the Faculty of Science is very diverse, ranging from mathematics, information science, astronomy, physics, chemistry and bio-pharmaceutical sciences to biology and environmental sciences. The research activities are organised in eight institutes. These institutes offer eight bachelor’s and twelve master’s programmes. The faculty has grown strongly in recent years and now has more than 2,200 staff and almost 4,200 students. We are located at the heart of Leiden’s Bio Science Park, one of Europe’s biggest science parks, where university and business life come together.
