Please find below details for a job opportunity in the laboratory of 
Prof Achillefs Kapanidis (cced).

Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Single-Molecule Imaging
Department of Physics, Parks Road, Oxford
Grade 7: £30,434 - £37,394 p.a.

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the 
Biological Physics Research Group under the supervision of Professor 
Achilles Kapanidis. This post is funded by a European Research Council 
(ERC) proof-of-concept grant and is particularly relevant for those 
interested in research commercialisation. The project will involve 
development of cutting-edge single-molecule fluorescence imaging 
instrumentation.

The post is available initially for a fixed-term duration of 10 months, 
with the possibility of extension.

The postholder will be expected to adapt and develop imaging 
experiments, analyse fluorescence images and timetraces, and prepare 
scientific reports.

Applicants should possess, or be very close to obtaining a doctorate in 
the fields of physics, optics, biophysics or a related field, and 
ideally have a strong background in optics and photonics; any industry 
experience is desirable. Candidates should have advanced knowledge of 
optical techniques and instrumentation development. Experience in 
single-molecule biophysical techniques is highly desirable. Knowledge of 
data-analysis methods and experience in design, fluidics and 
nanofabrication are desirable as is a background in MATLAB or similar 
languages.

Please direct enquiries about the role to Professor Achilles Kapanidis 
([log in to unmask]).

Only applications received before 12.00 midday on 27 February 2015 can 
be considered. You will be required to upload a brief statement of 
research interests, CV and details of three referees as part of your
