The Nikon Imaging Center at the University of California, San Francisco
seeks an imaging specialist to work with the director of the center in
maintaining the day to day operations of the center. The Nikon Imaging
Center at UCSF (NIC@UCSF) is a partnership between Nikon Instruments,
UCSF, and a number of other vendors that provides eight state-of-the-art
microscopes for use by the UCSF community. These microscopes are used by
approximately 300 scientists a year and contribute data to approximately
40 publications a year. To learn more, see our website: nic.ucsf.edu.
The successful candidate will be the initial point of contact for users
seeking to use the NIC and will be responsible for advising them on the
choice of microscope for their experiment and will provide training on
the microscopes. The candidate should be sufficiently knowledgeable
about microscopy and biology to advise newcomers to microscopy about the
appropriate microscopes to use, given their experimental requirements
and constraints. This individual will also be responsible for routine
cleaning and maintenance of microscopes, testing of microscope
performance, and troubleshooting problems with the microscopes. Within
these parameters, the successfulcandidate will have considerable freedom
which could include collaborations with NIC users.
Qualifications:
A PhD degree in biology, physics, optics, or a related field is required
as is previous experience with light
microscopy. Previous experience with equipment maintenance and training
in a core facility environment is
desirable. We are particularly looking for candidates with experience in
biophysics, programming, or development of microscopy hardware.
UC San Francisco seeks candidates whose experience, teaching, research,
or community service that has
prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and
excellence. The University of California is an Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will
receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin,
disability, age or protected veteran status.
