Dear colleagues,
Deadline 20th January 2020: Full-time fixed-term appointment for at
least 3 years at the University of Oxford.
We are seeking a Microscopy Staff Scientist to participate in a research
project led by Marco Fritzsche
(
https://my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit/erq_jobspec_details_form.jobspec?p_id=144248)
and Michael Dustin as part of a collaboration between the Kennedy
Institute of Rheumatology (KIR), the Weatherall Institute of Molecular
Medicine – Human Immunology Unit (WIMM – HIU) and Micron Imaging
Initiative at the University of Oxford. The major focus of this
collaboration is the maintenance of the Extended-resolution total
internal reflection fluorescence-structured illumination (eTIRF-SIM)
microscope. This eTIRF-SIM platform was developed initially by Dong Li
and Eric Betzig.
The post holder will work with Fritzsche’s team (www.bpi-oxford.com) to
develop new advanced microscopy technology and maintain the eTIRF-SIM
microscope at the KIR, verify its performance and provide technical
support for users at the KIR, WIMM, and Micron on a day to day basis. It
is expected that the position will provide opportunities for the post
holder to innovate and publish on further developments in technology and
biological insights resulting from the experiments supported.
You will hold a PhD in optical engineering, physics, or life sciences.
You have expertise in the design and maintenance of custom-built
microscopy as evident by publications in advanced microscopy. You will
also possess expertise in optical design, microscope construction, laser
alignment, and biological sample testing. Experience in image analysis
of advanced microscopy modes would be desirable. A proven track-record
of collaborative research with experience of experimental design,
execution, and analysis is essential.
best wishes,
Marco.
