This post is full time, and has funding for up to 18 months in the first instance, with the possibility of extension subject to funding.

The University of Glasgow is seeking to appoint a Research Assistant/Associate in Advanced Microscopy Technologies within the School of Physics & Astronomy to contribute to/make a leading contribution to an interdisciplinary project developing a “Multidisciplinary Bioimaging Platform for Quantitative Force Mapping in the Beating Heart”, working with Dr Jonathan Taylor and a wider team that includes Sheffield University and Imperial College. You will be welcomed into an optical imaging research group developing and applying new optical and computational techniques for imaging and biophysical measurements in the dynamic environment of a living organism. We collaborate closely with biomedical labs across the UK and beyond, working with them to apply our techniques to cutting-edge biological questions.

In this project you will take a leading role in our efforts to achieve live force measurements from within the highly dynamic environment of the beating zebrafish heart. We aim to achieve this using cutting-edge TCSPC SPAD array imaging technologies, advanced motion-correction algorithms, and FLIM-FRET tension sensors. Your contribution to this multidisciplinary challenge will require expert knowledge in optical microscopy, including FLIM-FRET imaging and advanced image processing techniques. This exciting and ambitious project calls for effective team working with a priority on delivering initial proof-of-concept results. You will work with a close-knit team spanning physics, biology and biophysics.

To be considered for an appointment at Grade 7, you must be able to perform the duties as listed for a Research Assistant position with a higher degree of independence, leadership and responsibility, particularly in relation to planning, funding, collaborating and publishing research, and mentoring colleagues. You must also have a Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework level 12 (PhD) or alternatively possess the equivalent in professional qualifications and experience, with experience of personal development in a similar or related role(s)

For informal enquiries or further information about the project, please contact Dr Jonathan Taylor (Jonathan.Taylor@glasgow.ac.uk). We encourage and welcome applicants from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in the discipline, and support is available during the interview process for those with caring responsibilities.
