5949 Associate Scientist (Level 15) Delaware Biotechnology Institute DEADLINE:
May 1, 2011

The Delaware Biotechnology Institute is recruiting for an Associate
Scientist to work in our Bioimaging Center. The Bioimaging Center provides
an array of microscopy expertise and equipment including conventional
fluorescence, confocal, multiphoton, super-resolution, TIRF, atomic force,
laser microdissection, transmission and field emission scanning microscopes
and ancillary sample preparation equipment.

Under limited direction, the Associate Scientist independently interprets,
organizes, executes, and coordinates research assignments in addition to
formulating and conducting research on problems of considerable scope and
complexity. The Associate Scientist will provide consultation, training and
supervision to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, staff and faculty
in the design, implementation and execution of microscopy-related projects
with a special emphasis on scanning probe and single molecule fluorescence
microscopy; develop competitive research proposals for external funding;
collaborate with users and principal investigators on design, analysis,
application and reporting of research projects; make recommendations and
conclusions which serve as the basis for decision making; and evaluate,
select and apply standard scientific techniques, procedures, and criteria to
accomplish a variety of research assignments.

Candidates must have a Master’s degree and four years experience with
preference given to  a Ph.D. and two years experience in
Biology/Chemistry/Biophysics or related field as well as a record of peer
reviewed publications. Experience in scanning probe and single molecule
fluorescence microscopy is required. Candidates will have knowledge of
scientific approach, methodologies and scientific research principles,
practices and protocols in order to design, organize and coordinate
scientific research projects. Candidates will have the ability to perform
independent original research in an advanced area of scientific expertise,
the ability to develop scientific reports, proposals and publications,
ability to use independent judgment to adapt and modify research concepts
and approaches to specific projects. Knowledge of current technological
developments/trends in the area of scanning probe and single molecule
fluorescence microscopy, the use and maintenance of laboratory facilities
and/or equipment is fundamental.
