Open access to cutting-edge electron and light microscopy
We provide researchers from Europe and beyond with a synergistic portfolio of imaging services including cryo-EM, super-resolution and intravital microscopy to enable new ground-breaking research that crosses the scales of biology.
We are looking for highly motivated and interdisciplinary imaging specialists to join our service and research teams in light microscopy. Apply until 27 April!
What should you bring? A PhD in biophysics / physics / engineering or related disciplines (or comparable degrees), and/or experience in complex optical set-ups and mechanical engineering and an interest in biological applications of new optical technologies.
What would you do? You would be responsible for setting-up, testing, running, maintaining and adapting novel and custom advanced light microscopy systems and their control software for specific life science applications and imaging conditions in close collaboration with our microscope developers and optical engineers within the team, but also from EMBL’s research groups and industrial partners, as well as for supporting users jointly with our application specialists in running of advanced light microscopy equipment and development of novel image acquisition schemes and workflows.
