We have a position open in our cellular imaging core. Please see below:

Facility/Department: Imaging Core-Research Support
Location: Orlando, FL

Position Summary

Sanford-Burnham Institute is a non-profit academic research institute with
locations in La Jolla, CA, Orlando, FL and Santa Barbara, CA. The Institute has
more than 1,000 employees divided in about 100 independent research
groups. This position will support imaging in our 175,000 SF research facility
in Orlando, FL. The core is responsible for providing routine and advanced
imaging capability to investigators. The core currently provides training and
scientific advice pertinent to the usage of a Nikon A1R VAAS confocal
platform, a Nikon inverted epifluorescent calcium-imaging and TIRF live-cell
platform; an Olympus inverted epifluorescent platform, an Aperio Fluorescent
Scanscope, a Zeiss PALM Microbeam IV Dissection Microscope, and an FEI
Morgagni electron microscope. This position requires an individual with
experience working in an imaging core.

The individual must have demonstrated ability to cooperate and work with
others as demanded by the needs of a major research institute. It must be
able to communicate effectively, demonstrate an interest in professional
development, possess the ability to define and resolve problems, and work
independently. The individual will be responsible for routine aspects of the
imaging core, maintenance, training of scientific staff, and troubleshooting,
especially on transmission electron microscopy, confocal and epifluorescence
live and fixed cell microscopy.
