Vacancy Postdoc - Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) development and application to cell biology
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Live Cell Imaging group we combine standard cell-biological techniques with advanced fluorescence microscopy approaches such as FRET and FLIM. Research topics include cell adhesion, ion channel functioning, signal transduction and development of novel technology. We have recently developed instrumentation and methods to acquire single-image fluorescence lifetime microscopy images at high speed (Raspe et al, Nature Methods, 2016 (doi:10.1038/nmeth.3836)). In collaboration with two partner labs at the UvA and TUD we will further develop and extend this technology, and we will apply it to solve outstanding questions in cell biology.
We seek to recruit a post-doc with a clear interest in biophysics, cell biology and instrumentation. The successful candidate will collaborate with lab members, our partner labs at UvA and TUD and industrial partners to develop algorithms and methods, to specify and test innovative lifetime-sensitive cameras and to lead the challenging experiments.


Your profile
-------------
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who wishes to conduct research in a stimulating and ambitious environment. Hallmarks: demonstrated interest in technology development, excellent communication skills, willing to work in a team, coordinates contacts with our industrial partners.  Affinity with advanced microscopy is a must, as well as a keen interest to apply the developed methods in cell biology.


Your career opportunities and terms of employment
----------------------------------------------------------
The research groups at the NKI-AVL are supported by state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, most with dedicated support staff. The Institute has a genomics facility, a functional screening facility for RNAi and small-molecule libraries, excellent facilities for microscopy, flowcytometry, protein expression and purification, and many more.
 
Approximately 550 people work in the research laboratory and many of the clinicians are involved in research. Work discussions, lectures and seminars are in English and a large number of non-Dutch post-docs, students and staff members contribute to the stimulating and international atmosphere of the Institute.
 
We offer a competitive salary (including possibilities for additional tax-reduction) and other stimulating terms of employment according to the Collective Labour Agreement General Hospitals. We can take care of housing facilities in the vicinity of the Institute.
 
This position is available for 3 years with a gross salary of € 3.363,- to € 3.774,- per month (scale 55, based on proven qualifications). The terms of employment will be in accordance with the CAO Hospitals.
