moving to other parts of the country around the same time!/

The Rockefeller University is seeking a qualified and motivated 
full-time microscopist for its Bio-Imaging Resource Center.  The 
Research Support Specialist will assist in advising and training users 
in all areas of optical microscopy, including microscope set-up, 
experimental design, sample preparation and data evaluation. The 
Specialist will also perform trouble-shooting, microscope maintenance 
and miscellaneous laboratory maintenance and job-related duties as 
required and will report to the Director of the Center.  Collaborative 
studies with RU researchers will also be encouraged for motivated 
individuals.

and nearby institutions and we enjoy strong support within the 
University.  Equipment in the center currently includes a new Olympus 
FV1000 MPE Twin upright multiphoton system, a Zeiss LSM 510 inverted 
multiphoton system, two Zeiss LSM 510 confocal microscopes (one with 
META detector), two DeltaVision image restoration microscopes (including 
lasers for FRAP and photoactivation), a Yokogawa-type spinning disk 
confocal microscope fitted with the Photonics Instruments Digital Mosaic 
system for FRAP/Photoactivation, a Nikon/Lambert Instruments multi-line 
TIRF/FLIM system, an MMI laser microdissection system, and various 
widefield fluorescence microscopes.  We hope to add superresolution 
microscopy capabilities over the next few months.

Master’s degree or Ph.D. in biology or a related field and a minimum of 
two years of experience in advanced fluorescence microscopy, preferably 
involving live cell imaging, plus experience with sample preparation and 
image analysis.*  *Must have excellent interpersonal and communication 
skills, an enthusiastic approach towards new techniques, motivation to 
maintain a broad knowledge of state-of-the-art imaging technology and 
the flexibility to interact with a diverse group of researchers.  Strong 
organizational and multi-tasking skills are also essential.
