Microscopy Specialist in the Intracellular Self-Organization GroupOrganization: Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) Available from:July 1, 2021 Send CV, publications, summary and references to:at Position Information:The InstituteThe Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical research institute of excellence, based in Barcelona, Spain, with more than 400 scientists from 44 countries. The CRG shares principles of an interdisciplinary, motivated and creative scientific team that is supported by high-end and innovative technologies and a flexible and efficient administration.The RoleAdvanced microscopy imaging plays a central role in our research and the successful candidate will be a key lab member being involved in several projects. He or she will be responsible for developing light microscopy methods (e.g. STORM, iSCAT, optical trapping) and develop image and data analysis tools in the framework of an ERC Synergy project. The selected candidate will work together with biochemists and biophysicists, contributing specialized microscopy expertise and training. The research will address fundamental questions about the spatio-temporal organization of the cytoskeleton in cells and reconstituted systems, with a special emphasis on understanding spindle assembly and function.About the TeamThe Intracellular Self-Organization Group is interested in elucidating the design principles of self-organizing intracellular structures. The focus is on understanding the function of the cytoskeleton. The group is led byThomas Surrey, an expert of microtubule cytoskeleton biochemistry and biophysics. Quantitative microscopy imaging combined with quantitative image and data analysis are important methods in the lab.See also: https://www.crg.eu/en/programmes-groups/surrey-lab Whom would we like to hire?You hold a PhD degree in PhysicsYou have several years experience in light microscopy development or experimentationYou have an excellent understanding of optics, microscopy, image analysis, and statisticsYou are able to work independently and also enjoy working in a teamYou have excellent organisational skillsThe OfferContract duration: 6 years with possibility to extendSalary: commensurate with qualifications and consistent with our pay scales.Target start date: July 2021We provide a highly stimulating environment with state-of-the-art infrastructures, and unique professional career development opportunities.Application ProcedureAll applications must include:A motivation letter addressed to Dr. Thomas SurreyDeadline: Please submit your application by 24th April 2021. #J-18808-Ljbffr
