Dear list,
this position is at the interface between industry and academic
research, and based at the Friedrich-
Miescher Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (www.fmi.ch) and
at the Novartis Institute of
Biomedical Research (www.nibr.com) in Basel, Switzerland.
The successful candidate is expected to play a key role in the launch of
a novel intravital
multiphoton microscopy facility at the Special Microscopy Application
Unit of the FMI, and will
explore the dynamics of tumor-stroma crosstalk within the tumor, and
within the tumor-draining
lymph node.
Both host labs are interested in the plasticity, migration patterns and
immunological role of fibroblastic
stroma cells, macrophages and lymphocytes, and use state-of-the-art cell
biological, immunological
and imaging techniques.
The ideal candidate should have solid expertise with in vivo cancer
models, flow cytometry, and
advanced light microscopy. Experience in lymphocyte biology is highly
desired, and programming skills
(e.g. MatLab) are an asset. Applicants should have completed their Ph.D.
or M.D. training with a strong
publication record. The position requires excellent communication skills
and the motivation to work
independently. Eligible candidates should be less than 3 years after
their PhD or MD.
The FMI is an international biomedical research center with 300 members
pursuing fundamental
research in the areas of Cell Growth and Signaling, Epigenetics and
Neurobiology. The microscopy and
imaging core facility is host to several confocal microscopes as well as
a large number of other
fluorescent microscopes. The facility has three full-time employees who
are experts in image
acquisition and image analysis and work together with several companies
to test the latest techniques
in microscopy.
Applications should be submitted electronically to
[hidden email] and
[hidden email] and
include a CV, research experience, motivation letter and the names of
three referees.
