Open Positions in Sydney

[Katharina Gaus]

Dear all,

The University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, has established BioMedical
Imaging Facility (BMIF) whose mission is to provide state-of-the-art imaging technology
to cutting edge biomedical research. The BMIF is a multi-user facility that provides
training instrument operation and data analysis. The focus of the BMIF is fluorescence
microscopy including epifluorescnence for live cell imaging, confocal microscopy, spinning
disc microscopy, total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, time-resolved
single molecule imaging including fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) and
fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), and 2-photon and intravital microscopy.
BMIF also includes other imaging modes such as atomic force microscopy (AFM). It
oversees a tissue culture facility and associated laboratories for sample preparation. We
are looking for a Manager and Senior Technical Officer who are passionate about
fluorescence microscopy and have an interest in molecular and cell biology.
