Dear all
This post is advertised at Nature, and the closing date is now the 9 May 2013. Please contact me (
[hidden email]) if you would like more information.
http://www.nature.com/naturejobs/science/jobs/324485-Postdoctoral-Research-Fellow-in-Super-resolution-imagingFixed term for 5 years
Applications are invited for an experienced Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on a project to build a novel ‘super-resolution’ 3D structured illumination microscope. The project is funded by the MRC Next Generation Optical Imaging Initiative.
You should have a PhD (or are close to completion) in an area of biophysics, physics, physical chemistry, biochemistry or bioengineering (or related), you will use your knowledge and ability to build a novel microscopy set-up suitable for 3D structured illumination microscopy of live cells. You will also be responsible for developing and maintaining an existing PALM (photoactivated light microscopy) and STORM (stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy) set-up. You should have experience in optics, lasers, microscopy, imaging, camera technologies, programming and in building custom-built instrumentation. The final goal is to build a novel 3D SIM instrument that can image to high resolution, with minimal drift, low signal/noise, and be relatively straightforward for other non-expert users to use. You will be creative, a quick-learner and able to work with custom-made instrumentation and non-standard analysis tools, in an interdisciplinary environment.
You should have a strong physical science background and experience of multidisciplinary research at the interface with biology is desirable.
