<div class=""><b class="">Open position: Scientific Officer in
advanced Electron microscopy and it's various applications in
life science</b></div>
<div class=""><b class=""><br class="">
</b></div>
<div class="">The National Centre for Cellular Imaging at the Core
Facilities, 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. </div>
<div class="">
<p class=""><strong class="">Job description: </strong></p>
<p class="">The CCI is now looking for an experienced Scientific
Officer in advanced Electron microscopy (EM)and it's various
applications in life science. The position will involve direct
participation in the research projects by performing
ultrastructural analysis on various biological specimens
including cultured yeast, bacteria, insect and mammalian cells
as well as model organisms such as flies, nematodes, fish and
rodents. The main tasks for the post holder will include
sample preparation (fixation methods, resin embedding,
sectioning) imaging (transmission and scanning EM, serial TEM
and TEM tomography), advanced molecular mapping techniques
(immuno-EM and correlative light and electron microscopy
-CLEM),training, maintenance and operations in electron
microscopy.</p>
<p class="">The successful candidate will work in the National
Centre for Cellular Imaging advanced microscopy facility with
1) educating and training of core facility users to select and
apply the appropriate electron microscopy techniques, handling
of a wide range of biological specimens and experimental
approaches; 2) managing and optimizing the different EM sample
preparation workflows, including full cell/tissue processing
(chemically and by cryo), sectioning (plastic embedded) and
cryo-sectioning. The post holder will also be responsible for
3) operation and maintenance of equipment for the EM sample
preparation, including cryo-equipment (high pressure freezing,
plunge freezing); 4) giving advice on the design of imaging
experiments in order to optimize output and research
activities; 5) contributing to the implementation of new
innovative EM methods in order to meet with the users’ needs
and also participate in the teaching of users and PhD
students.</p>
<p class=""><strong class="">Qualifications and Experience:</strong></p>
<p class="">We are seeking for an ambitious and service-oriented
team player with excellent interpersonal and organizational
skills. The candidate should be able to work both
independently and as part of the CCI team, and enjoy working
in an international and highly collaborative and
multidisciplinary scientific environment. The suitable
candidate should hold a PhD in Medicine or Biology, with at
least ten years of research experience in electron microscopy
for life sciences. Prior experience of working in a microscopy
facility is a plus. Experience in EM preparation techniques,
for example high-pressure freezing, freeze substitution,
plunge freezing and CLEM is also considered as additional
merits. Additional skills in sample preparation for cryo-EM
and negative staining would be an advantage. Ideally, the
candidate should have knowledge in light microscopy and/or in
molecular biology and/or in image processing. The post holder
should be willing to expand his/her knowledge in new
microscopy techniques and be ready to work in a highly
interdisciplinary environment. Ability to manage workload and
structure the work with short timelines and good communication
skills in English are essential.</p>
<p class="">We are looking for an enthusiastic person with a
research background who combines technical expertise with
strong communication skills, who has a strong will to aid
other researcher in their work, but also the motivation to
work independently.</p>
<p class=""><strong class="">Employment</strong></p>
<p class="">This is a permanent position, full time, at Core
Facilities, Sahlgrenska academy, with a placement at CCI.</p>
