Scientific Researcher - Microscopy and Electrochemistry
This role is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the research effort of our institution and develop your expertise in single molecule localisation microscopy combined with electrochemistry.
The successful candidate will lead and manage a discovery research project focused on combining fluorescence microscopy with electrochemistry to control fluorophore properties, contribute independently or as a team member in collaborative research, design and execute experiments, analyse experimental data, interpret results, and support the dissemination of research outcomes through appropriate channels and outlets.
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead and manage a discovery research project focused on combining fluorescence microscopy with electrochemistry to control fluorophore properties.
* Contribute independently or as a team member in collaborative research with a focus to drive the success of the grant and enhance the quality of research outcomes.
* Design and execute experiments to understand the impact of electrochemistry on the fluorescent properties of fluorophores and exploit this understanding for developing new microscopy methods based on single molecule counting.
* Analyse experimental data, interpret results, and support the dissemination of research outcomes through appropriate channels and outlets.
Requirements:
* A PhD in optical physics or cell biology with a strong emphasis on fluorescence microscopy.
* Demonstrated expertise in fluorescence microscopy, immunolabelling, and single molecule localisation microscopy.
* Demonstrated experience or interest in electrochemistry.
* Proven commitment to proactively keeping up to date with discipline knowledge and developments.
* Demonstrated ability to undertake high-quality academic research and conduct independent research with limited supervision as well as collaboratively in a team environment.
