The *National Centre for Cellular Imaging (CCI) at the University of 
Gothenburg,* is one of the leading academic imaging facilities in Sweden 
providing expertise and access to advanced microscopy to the research 
community, both locally and at other Swedish universities and abroad.

The CCI offers high-end microscopy techniques for researchers in the 
various fields of life science, but also chemistry, physics, material 
science. The equipment includes several laser scanning (confocal and 
multiphoton) microscopes, a large number of other fluorescent 
microscopes, laser microdissection microscope, super-resolution 
microscopes, as well as a scanning and a transmission electron 
microscope. The scientific staff at the CCI assists researchers in the 
experimental designing and planning of microscopy experiments and 
provides the in-depth training for the operation of the microscopes and 
for specific imaging techniques. Additionally, support is provided in 
the processing, rendering and analysis of the acquired datasets.

The CCI is now looking for an experienced Scientific Officer in advanced 
Electron microscopy and its various applications in life science. The 
purpose of this post is to manage the sample preparation, training, 
maintenance and operations of the electron microscopes. Furthermore. to 
facilitate the development of new workflows, including specimen and 
imaging methods, in close collaboration with PI’s to apply these new 
methods to their specific research questions.


      Job assignments

The successful candidate will work in the National Centre for Cellular 
Imaging advanced microscopy facility to: advice core facility users with 
a wide range of biological specimens and experimental approaches to 
apply the appropriate electron microscopy (EM) technique, and train the 
users; manage and optimize different EM sample preparation workflows, 
including cell/tissue processing and sectioning; the post holder will be 
also responsible for operation and maintenance of equipment for EM 
sample preparation, including cryo-equipment; give advice on the design 
of imaging experiments in order to optimize output and research 
activities; contributing to the implementation of new innovative EM 
methods in order to meet with the users needs. The post holder will also 
participate in the teaching of graduate and undergraduate students.


      Qualifications

We are seeking an ambitious and service-oriented team player with 
excellent interpersonal and organizational skills.  The suitable 
candidate should hold a University degree (Master, PhD) in Medicine, 
Biology or Chemistry, with at least five years of research experience in 
electron microscopy for life science. Prior experience of working in a 
microscopy facility is a plus. Experience in EM preparation techniques 
for example high-pressure freezing and freeze substitution is also 
considered as additional merits. The candidate should be willing to 
expand his/her knowledge in new microscopy techniques and be ready to 
work in a highly interdisciplinary environment. Ability to work 
well-organized in a team-oriented way is important. Good communication
