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.
