Bioimaging research post

[Neil Kad]

Dear All,

We have a great opportunity for a researcher interested in working in our newly refurbished imaging facility. This is a permanent post and will also involve managing the facility, however we are looking for someone with a really good research portfolio. The post would be best filled by someone interested in developing methods particularly with respect to single molecule and/or cellular imaging.

We currently possess a Beckton Dickinson FACSCalibur Flow Cytometer, a Bio-Rad Radiance 2000 Confocal Microscope, Single particle fluorescence imaging high sensitivity fluorescence microscopy, wide-field microscopy, and an in-house developed TIRF-equipped microscope. As part of the refurb we expect to purchase many new instruments - a good time to get in!

If you have any enquiries please feel free to contact me off-line on: [hidden email]

The official advert is below and will appear in Science this week:

(Ref.RE796) This is a permanent university-funded post to conduct research and manage the development of a multi-user cell bioimaging facility, primarily devoted to the area of biomedical sciences in the Department of Biological Sciences. Current users include academic researchers, postdoctoral scientists and graduate students in areas such as virology, microbiology, cancer biology, immunology, molecular cell biology. The appointed person is expected to have a research track record in cell bioimaging, and knowledge of analytical software for displaying image-based data. Familiarity with modern microscopy techniques and cytometry is an advantage. The imaging facility (which is being fully upgraded including new equipment and refurbishment) is equipped with a Beckton Dickinson FACSCalibur Flow Cytometer, a Bio-Rad Radiance 2000 Confocal Microscope, Single particle fluorescence imaging high sensitivity fluorescence microscopy, wide-field microscopy, and a newly developed TIRF-equipped microscope. Ability to maintain and develop instrumentation and infrastructure is expected.

 

A PhD or equivalent, in an appropriate scientific field, good interpersonal skills and experience in the management of multiple projects is required. Evidence of productive work experience in the form of peer-reviewed publications is also a requirement. An interest in computational modelling and image mining would be desirable. Opportunities to receive training on some aspects of bioimaging will also be available.

Salary: £29,704-£35,469 per annum                           Closing date: 17 April 2009
