We are seeking a highly motivated electron microscopy specialist who will lead the electron microscopy side of our Centre. Research groups at Oxford Brookes cover a wide range of topics including mammalian cells, virus work, plant cell biology, and eukaryotic parasites. They undertake a wide range of standard and advanced techniques on our electron microscopes including fixation, ultramicrotomy sectioning, TEM, SEM as well as more advanced techniques for high pressure freezing and serial block face scanning electron microscopy.
The main responsibilities will be to provide training and support to scientists, ensuring the smooth running of the microscopes, assistance with data collection, and analysis.
The ideal candidate should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in a Biological subject and is looking to build a career in electron microscopy. They will have a firm background in a cell biology subject and hands-on experience in imaging biological samples using transmission electron microscopes and experience in ultramicrotomy sectioning. Training in other techniques will be provided as needed. Excellent organisational and communication skills, the ability to work as part of a team, as well as a willingness to help users are essential. The post would suit a post-doctoral researcher looking for a career in electron microscopy.
