Dear colleagues,

I am looking to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Advanced Microscopy (details below). Please forward this email to anyone who might be interested and contact me directly with any questions ([hidden email]).

Job title: Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Advanced Microscopy (Job reference: P62097)
Salary: £34,520 to £35,550 (Grade F)
Location: Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Exeter, Devon, UK
Duration: Full time - fixed term contact from 1 June 2018 - 31 May 2020
Application closing date 14/05/2018

Overview: The College wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to participate in the construction of a fast-scanning multi-photon fluorescence microscope for biomedical imaging. This EPSRC funded post is available 01/06/18 to 31/05/2020. The successful applicant will be responsible for the construction and optical alignment of the microscope as well as the software control of the active optical elements used to obtain rapid three-dimensional scans of excitable cell networks.

You will work in the laboratory of Dr Alex Corbett, based in the Biomedical Physics Research Group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Biomedical Physics is home to over 40 postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers (http://emps.exeter.ac.uk/physics-astronomy/research/biomedical/staff/). The overarching aim of the project is utilise the new fast scan technology to image oblique sections through the heart of zebrafish embryos to identify inter-beat variability due to a range of cardiac pathologies and monitor their response to pharmacological interventions.

Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr Corbett - e-mail: [hidden email]. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Dr Alex Corbett
