*OMX MICROSCOPE SCIENTIFIC OFFICER - LS/2387/LSW
GRADE 7 (£27,466 - £33,780)*

An exciting new role is available in the University of Dundee, College of
Life Science's Light Microscopy Facility, Dundee, Scotland, UK. We are
seeking an energetic Scientific Officer to administer a new, next generation
"OMX" structured illumination/multi-channel live cell imaging system, one of
only 7 pre-commercial releases of this new imaging technology, which breaks
through the resolution barrier previously imposed on the light microscope
(Schermelleh et al. (2008) Science 320:1332).

Educated to PhD level or with appropriate experience, the successful
candidate will have a strong interest and understanding in the use of light
microscopy for biological research, especially in living cells. Significant
experience in the use and configuration of fluorescence microscopes is also
necessary and familiarity with a variety of computer systems will be
helpful.

Based in the central facility as part of the imaging team and reporting to
the facility head and the OMX academic lead, the successful applicant will
administer the "OMX" microscope and provide support for users from our own
facility as well as from throughout Scotland. This is a unique opportunity
to help provide a revolutionary technology to cell and developmental
biologists throughout a small country with a world-leading life sciences
research portfolio.

The Scottish Universities Life Science Alliance funded appointment will be
offered for up to five years starting October 2008 on Grade 7 or as soon
thereafter as possible.

Informal inquiries can be made by contacting Jason Swedlow (
