Job Opportunity: Applications Scientist for Fluorescence Microscopy
 
  The Scanalytics division of CSPI is looking again to add to our growing
  team of Applications Scientists.  The new position is for our
  Fluorescence Microscopy product line which includes software-based
  instruments for performing high-resolution, quantitative 3D fluorescence
  microscopy.  The current product offering consists of microscope sytems
  designed for high-resolution 2D and 3D imaging and analysis of delicate
  fluorescently-labeled specimens and employs the deconvolution methods
  developed by the University of Massachusetts Medical School.  While this
  technology is often confused with confocal microscopy, it was originally
  developed and optimized for performing studies which cannot be done in
  the harsh imaging environment of confocal  methods.  Applicants,
  therefore, should have a working familiarity with confocal techniques and
  applications as well as a basic understanding of photobleaching,
  photodamage,  and fluorophore characteristics as they present challenges
  to performing high-resolution microscopy.
 
  The position requires that you interact with potential and current
  customers to answer their questions on how the Scanalytics products may
  be configured to be most appropriate for their work and to perform
  benchmark studies.  You will be called upon to perform installations of
  the instruments, to deliver technical presentations to interested
  audiences, and to travel with sales representatives (domestic and
  international) to answer technical questions.  Your experience will be
  needed to help in the design of new products and to write technical
  bulletins regarding current products.
 
  The ideal candidate will bring several years of hands-on experience with
  biological fluorescence microscopy, especially computer-based (PC)
  instruments as applied in this work.  A good working knowledge of
  research cameras and microscope automation equipment is also desired.
  The position will involve approximately 50% travel away from our
  Boston-area office.  A BS in the life sciences or biomedical engineering
  is highly desirable.
 
  Persons interested in exploring this exciting opportunity are encouraged
  to send their resume to:
