Umma Core Facility for Electron Microscopy (UCEM) and Biochemical Imaging Centre Umea (BICU) are two research infrastructures at Umeå University providing state-of-the-art microscopes and equipment including STORM, Cryo-EM, Spinning disk and Dual Beam-SEM. Together, the facilities form one of the nodes in the VR-funded National Microscopy Infrastructure (NMI). The node in Umeå is specialized in combinations of light- and electron microscopy, so-called correlative microscopy. The NMI node in Umeå now seeks a first research engineer to be recruited for a technical service function responsible for correlative microscope methods, to guide the facility's users and to be responsible for the daily operation of microscopes and preparation equipment. The employment is limited to 2 years with the possibility of extension, starting in summer 2017 or by agreement.

Work tasks

The position means that you will provide researchers with expert advice in the planning and implementation of correlative microscope experiments, preparation of samples, mainly in medical and biological research areas. The tasks include responsibility for the maintenance of the instruments and the development of methods, independent planning and implementation of analyzes, evaluation of data and summary in reports. You will maintain and monitor the daily use of fluorescence and electron microscopes, as well as serve as a contact between the users, the facility and the instrument vendor's service technician. You must be able to take responsibility for technical development, as well as user training and service within the platform.

Qualifications

You have a PhD in engineering, science or medicine. You have extensive interest, theoretical knowledge and practical experience in microscopy, preferably a combination of fluorescence and electron microscopy. The work requires experience from electron microscopic methodology, e.g. sample preparation for TEM, analysis and 3D image processing. Excellent computer skills, software experience of 3D reconstruction and tomography are particularly meritorious. You are well-organized, a good team player, and appreciate working in a group. Good ability to communicate in English both in speech and in writing is required. You take your own initiative and can independently take responsibility for experimental work and presentation of results.
