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 eight 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. To learn more, see our website: nic.ucsf.edu.

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. The candidate should be sufficiently knowledgeable 
about microscopy and biology to advise newcomers to microscopy about the 
appropriate microscopes to use, given their experimental requirements 
and constraints. This individual will also be responsible for routine 
cleaning and maintenance of microscopes, testing of microscope 
performance, and troubleshooting problems with the microscopes. Within 
these parameters, the successfulcandidate will have considerable freedom 
which could include collaborations with NIC users.

Qualifications:
A PhD degree in biology, physics, optics, or a related field is required 
as is previous experience with light
microscopy. Previous experience with equipment maintenance and training 
in a core facility environment is
desirable. We are particularly looking for candidates with experience in 
biophysics, programming, or development of microscopy hardware.

UC San Francisco seeks candidates whose experience, teaching, research, 
or community service that has
prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and 
excellence. The University of California is an Equal 
Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will 
receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, 
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, 
disability, age or protected veteran status.

The official posting is not up yet, but when it is it will be available

In the meantime, if you're interested in the position please send your 
CV and a cover letter to DeLaine Larsen, [log in to unmask]
