***Revised***Microscopy Facility Director

D-25-ODI-00011 | Specialist | Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute

The Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute (ODBI) was recently launched to ignite new directions in research, education, and innovation at the intersection of Engineering and the Life Sciences. ODBI is evolving rapidly, including launching various programs and building physical and programmatic infrastructure. ODBI is seeking a scientific staff member to help run a new microscopy facility. This facility will house roughly a dozen advanced light microscopes, with a particular focus on light microscopy approaches for both imaging and active interfacing with living cells and organisms. The shared facility will be located in a custom-designed laboratory within ODBI's new state-of-the-art building. The facility director will train and assist student and postdoc users of the facility, helping them to design their imaging experiments (e.g. choosing microscopy modalities, sample preparation), maximize quality of imaging data, and consult on image visualization and analysis. The director will facilitate scheduling microscope use, and also connect with vendors to ensure that microscopes are well-maintained. The facility director will also have the opportunity to participate in teaching activities (e.g. for students in the new Bioengineering PhD program), including the design of custom microscopy setups for specific imaging applications. This position will be appointed at the rank of Professional Specialist.

The Microscopy Facility Director will interface closely with both internal and external members of the ODBI community.

Candidates should have a PhD in a related field. Candidates without a PhD, but with an advanced degree may be considered if they have significant (multiple years) hands-on experience with advanced microscopy applications.
