*Job Description *

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is one of the highest
ranked scientific research organisations in the world. The Headquarters
Laboratory is located in Heidelberg (Germany), with additional sites in
Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany), Hinxton (UK) and Monterotondo (Italy).

The Application Engineer / Research Scientist will join the Prevedel
group. The goal of the lab is to develop next generation, innovative
optical imaging techniques to push the frontier of deep tissue
microscopy. The research is geared towards direct applications in
biology and neuroscience. The major task of the Application Engineer /
Research Scientist will be to support the group by contributing to its
research projects and laboratory management. This involves:
Design of mechanical, optical as well as electronic components of
cutting-edge, novel light microscopes to collect three-dimensional
datasets inside scattering tissue.

Construction and adaptation of custom microscopy setups for specific
life science applications and imaging conditions.
Programming and customizing computational data analysis packages
including three-dimensional visualization of imaging data and analysis
methods.

Improving image acquisition workflows (e.g. hardware automation, image
post-processing and analysis) and ensuring a technology watch to keep
the microscopes at a cutting edge level (at the hardware and software
levels).
Working in close collaboration with biologists and neuroscientists to
ensure practicality of the microscopes (e.g. custom sample mounts,
sample environment control)

The Application Engineer / Research Scientist will directly participate
in the group’s research projects and will be responsible for training
and providing technical assistance for students and postdoctoral fellows
in the group. In addition, the Application Engineer / Research Scientist
will be in charge of the general lab organization that includes ordering
of supplies and equipment as well as the maintenance of databases.

*Qualifications and Experience *

The ideal candidate should be an optical engineer or physicist (master
degree or equivalent, a PhD would be an advantage) possessing advanced
computer skills. The candidate should ideally have an expertise in
advanced optics, imaging/spectroscopy or light microscopy, must be
comfortable with complex technical equipment (including pulsed lasers)
and preferably possess programming (Matlab, Python, LabView, or similar)
and/or simulation skills (CAD, ZEMAX, or similar). A keen interest in
biological applications of new optical technologies as well as
experience in supervising students and laboratory organization would be
an advantage.

The successful candidate should be able to work independently, be very
well organized, reliable and enjoy working in an international team
within a highly collaborative atmosphere. Excellent communication and
presentation skills and fluency in English are required.

*Application Instructions *

Please apply online through www.embl.org/jobs

*Additional Information *

EMBL is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering attractive
conditions and benefits appropriate to an international research
organisation.

Please note that appointments on fixed term contracts can be renewed,
depending on circumstances at the time of the review.
*
What we offer to you:*

  * competitive salaries exempt from national taxes
  * the opportunity to work with the latest technologies at our campus
    in Heidelberg, Germany
  * the exposure to creating enterprise solutions serving the needs of
    thousands of users
  * a range of benefits, from relocation support to family allowances
  * a flexible and friendly working environment
