Hi,

The Biological Science Imaging Resource at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida seeks an experienced Scientific Research Specialist to assist in facility operations. Your role will center around coordinating, consulting, and providing professional imaging and analytical support services for the BSIR, including configuration and maintenance of facility equipment. See attached.


The BSIR
The Biological Science Imaging Resource (BSIR) is dedicated to making state of the art transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and confocal microscopy available to everyone without multimillion dollar investments in instruments and facilities.  The center piece of the BSIR is the FEI’s Titan Krios through which we offer affordable, state of the art, remote robotic TEM imaging for local users as well as the SouthEastern Consortium for Microscopy of MacroMolecular Machines (SECM4). SECM4 is an NIH funded facility that supports 18 cryoEM investigators from institutions outside of Florida State University. With the Appion automated data collection system, users can view data collected in real time via a web browser. We also offer laser scanning dual photon confocal imaging using Zeiss’s LSM 510 confocal microscope, scanning electron microscopy through the FEI Nova NanoSEM, and bright field and fluorescent light microscopy.

The BSIR is managed by Dr. Duncan Sousa and policy is set by the BSIR faculty oversight committee chaired by Dr. Kenneth Taylor. While Dr. Sousa directs BSIR staff, you will be expected to be highly independent, manage problems as they arise, juggle competing demands, and be constantly thinking of new ways to improve operations. If you’re looking for a position where you will always be told exactly what to do and how to do it the BSIR may not be the right place for you.



Applicants can view the official job posting and apply at https://jobs.fsu.edu (ID 40854). Applicants are required to complete the online application with all applicable information. Applications must include all work history up to ten years, and all education details even if attaching a resume. The position is currently open and we are looking to fill this position immediately.

This position requires successful completion of a criminal history background check to include fingerprinting.

Florida State University is An Equal Opportunity/Access/Affirmative Action/Pro Disabled & Veteran Employer.
