Hi All -

I'm am looking for someone to help me run the Nikon Imaging Center at 
the University of California, San Francisco. The job posting is 
reproduced below.


Thanks,
Kurt

The Nikon Imaging Center at the University of California, San Francisco 
seeks an imaging specialist to work with the director of the center in 
maintaining the day to day operations of the center.The Nikon Imaging 
Center at UCSF (NIC@UCSF) is a partnership between Nikon Instruments, 
UCSF, and a number of other vendors that provides six state-of-the-art 
microscopes for use by the UCSF community. These microscopes are used by 
approximately 300 scientists a year and contribute data to approximately 
40 publications a year.

The successful candidate will be the initial point of contact for users 
seeking to use the NIC and will be responsible for advising them on the 
choice of microscope for their experiment and will provide training on 
the microscopes. This individual will also be responsible for routine 
cleaning and maintenance of microscopes, testing of microscope 
performance, and generating billing and usage reports. Within these 
parameters, the successful candidate will have considerable freedom 
which could include collaborations with NIC users.

A bachelors degree in biology, physics, optics, or a related field is 
required; a PhD is a plus. Previous experience with microscopy is highly 
desirable, as is previous experience with equipment maintenance and 
training in a core facility environment. Compensation will be determined 
based on experience.
