OMX MICROSCOPE SCIENTIFIC OFFICER - LS/2387/LSW
GRADE 7 (£27,466 - £33,780)
An exciting new role is available in the University of Dundee, College
of Life Science's Light Microscopy Facility, Dundee, Scotland, UK. We
are seeking an energetic Scientific Officer to administer a new, next
generation "OMX" structured illumination/multi-channel live cell
imaging system, one of only 7 pre-commercial releases of this new
imaging technology, which breaks through the resolution barrier
previously imposed on the light microscope (Schermelleh et al. (2008)
Science 320:1332).
Educated to PhD level or with appropriate experience, the successful
candidate will have a strong interest and understanding in the use of
light microscopy for biological research, especially in living cells.
Significant experience in the use and configuration of fluorescence
microscopes is also necessary and familiarity with a variety of
computer systems will be helpful.
Based in the central facility as part of the imaging team and reporting
to the facility head and the OMX academic lead, the successful
applicant will administer the "OMX" microscope and provide support for
users from our own facility as well as from throughout Scotland. This
is a unique opportunity to help provide a revolutionary technology to
cell and developmental biologists throughout a small country with a
world-leading life sciences research portfolio.
The Scottish Universities Life Science Alliance funded appointment will
be offered for up to five years starting October 2008 on Grade 7 or as
soon thereafter as possible.
Informal inquiries can be made by contacting Jason Swedlow (
