Anyone with experience in super-resolution microscopy: We have a very
interesting postdoc position available in one of our top labs, to do
super-resolution microscopy in immune biology. The position will be based in
the lab of Prof Dan Davis, with a long track record of top-end microscopy.
The person will closely cooperate with our facility, work will be largely
done on a brand-new PALM / STORM microscope, but collaborations with the
Photonics lab of Paul French (STED) and other development labs is part of
the job. Don't miss out on this,

Martin

Daniel M Davis
Professor of Molecular Immunology
Division of Cell and Molecular Biology
Imperial College London


Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Super-resolution microscopy to study
immune cell biology
Salary: £31,300 – £39,920 per annum


A Postdoctoral Research Fellowship is available for up to 3 years, funded by
the Medical Research Council (MRC), in super-resolution fluorescence
microscopy of human immune cells.


The project will be based in Dan Davis’s laboratory in South Kensington,
London, and involves using new fluorescence microscope technologies (PALM,
STORM, STED and others) to study fundamental aspects of Natural Killer cell
immune synapses (see for example: Brown et al, Plos Biology, 2011; Purbhoo
et al, Science Signaling, 2010; Chauveau et al PNAS, 2010; Sowinski et al,
Nat Cell Biol, 2008). This is an exciting opportunity to join a
multidisciplinary team using novel and state-of-the-art microscopy to
understand the immunological recognition of disease at the nanometre-scale.
You should have a PhD or equivalent level of professional qualification and
experience. Experience in fluorescence imaging and/or cell or molecular
biology, and proven evidence of an ability to carry out important science
are essential. Previous experience in studying immune cell biology and/or
using super-resolution fluorescence microscopy is desirable but full
training is available.
