SCIENTIFIC
OFFICER – MICROSCOPY SPECIALIST
To
develop in vivo imaging projects.
Salary
range £22,100 – £37,100
The Beatson Institute in Glasgow is one of
Europe's leading cancer research centres. We are core funded by Cancer Research
UK and support cutting edge research into the molecular mechanisms of cancer
development. The Institute has recently moved to a new facility that provides
an outstanding research environment, underpinned by state-of-the-art core
services and advanced technologies.
We are building a research program using
genetically engineered models of cancer to investigate mechanisms of
proliferation and metastasis. We now seek a Scientific Officer, specialising in
microscopy, to work within the Beatson Advanced Imaging Resource (BAIR) to devise
and implement imaging strategies to interrogate these cancer models. This
position will support the imaging needs of Glasgow Centre for Cancer Research,
comprising the Beatson Institute and Glasgow University Division of Cancer
Studies and Molecular Pathology.
Applicants must have a relevant PhD and experience using confocal and multi-photon microscopy to image fluorescent
proteins in vitro and in vivo. Fluorescence techniques in use include
photo-activation, photobleaching, Quantum Dots, fluorescence lifetime imaging,
and whole-body fluorescence microscopy. Equipment in use includes a LaVision
TRIM scope with OPO and FLIM module, Olympus FV-1000 with SIM scanner, Olympus
OV-100, and Ivis 50. We also employ a Visualsonics Vevo 770 machine for ultrasound
imaging (familiarity with ultrasound is advantageous but not essential).
Applications with CV and names of three
referees should be sent to Dr Kurt Anderson: [hidden email]
Deadline
for submission is 30 November 2009.
