The Senior Research Fellow – Microscopy and Spectroscopy will work collaboratively with the researchers from the Institute for Digital Molecular Analytics and Science (IDMxS) on projects involving advanced optical microscopy and spectroscopy (super-resolution microscopy, time-resolved fluorescence), publish research results and apply for research funding to support research projects centered around advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Work with IDMxS researchers integrating state-of-the-art imaging, microscopy, and spectroscopy solution in advanced research projects involving materials chemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology.
  • Manage a suite of advanced microscopy and spectroscopy infrastructure, including stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED) super-resolution microscopy, time-resolved spinning disc confocal fluorescence microscopy, Total Internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, dark field microscopy, optical, Raman, and fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, and fluorescence lifetime imaging.
  • Analyse microscopy images and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy data and develop analysis pipelines.
  • Monitor the performance of high-end optical microscopes, troubleshoot technical issues and liaise with external vendors on repairs and servicing.
  • Develop advanced microscopy and spectroscopy capabilities at IDMxS to meet the demands of research projects. Source for technologies needed and implement novel microscopy and spectroscopy techniques at IDMxS.
  • Keep up-to-date on the latest advances in AI-driven image analyses and the latest software developments
  • Publish research in scientific journals.
  • Apply for competitive research funding and manage funded research projects.
  • Mentor junior researchers in students in optical microscopy, spectroscopy and related data analysis.

Job Requirements:

  • PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering or related disciplines and at least 5 years of relevant research experience.
  • Experience with various modalities of advanced optical microscopy (including confocal and super-resolution microscopy).
  • Experience with time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and/or fluorescence lifetime imaging.
  • Experience with stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED) is an advantage.
  • In-depth knowledge of the principles of optical microscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy.
  • Experience with microscopy image analysis and data analysis in time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy.
  • Strong publication record.
  • Experience with application for competitive research funding is an advantage.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively on interdisciplinary research projects.
  • Ability to balance multiple research projects, meet deadlines and effectively collaborate with partners of different backgrounds and levels of expertise.
