Research Associate role Bioimaging Biologist – University of Birmingham

Project Details

Their interdisciplinary team at the University of Birmingham is looking for a highly motivated scientist to work with us on the development of “An AI-driven Automated Platform for High-Throughput 5D Fluorescence Imaging and Data Analysis Applied to Cell Signalling and Drug Discovery.”


A Wellcome Trust Bioimaging Technology Development Award (Foundation Phase) is providing funding for the project. As part of our efforts to democratize access to advanced microscopy through creative solutions for remote access and automation, like those we developed as part of Midlands Open Bioimaging, the project is headed by Prof. Davide Calebiro and Dr. Hector Basevi from the Department of Metabolism and Systems Science, Prof. Ales Leonardis from the School of Computer Science, and Dr. Edalat Radfar from the COMPARE Advanced Imaging Facility.

Project Duties

  • Create research goals and plans for your own or a collaborative study, with a mentor’s help if necessary. Help write research funding bids.
  • Examine and evaluate data
  • Use your knowledge in a way that fosters the growth of new intellectual insights.
  • Research findings should be shared for publications, research seminars, etc.
  • Oversee students’ research-related assignments and offer PhD students advice.
  • Participate in creating novel models, strategies, and tactics
  • Participate in research-related activities at the department or school.
  • Gather research information
  • Present research findings, such as the creation of academic publications or portions of them, at seminars and as posters, for instance.
  • As needed, offer direction to staff members and any students helping with the research.
  • Address issues that could compromise meeting deadlines and research goals.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s and/or master’s degree in biology, biochemistry or related field and, normally, a PhD or equivalent qualifications on a relevant topic.
  • High level analytical capability.
  • Ability to communicate complex information clearly.
  • Fluency in relevant models, techniques or methods and ability to contribute to developing new ones.
  • Ability to assess resource requirements and use resources effectively.
  • Contribute to the planning and organising of the research programme and/or specific research project.
  • Co-ordinate own work with others to avoid conflict or duplication of effort.
  • Knowledge of mammalian cell culture and molecular biology techniques (cloning, transfection, etc.).
  • Ideally, previous experience with GPCR signalling and/or live cell imaging and image analysis.
  • Enthusiasm for interdisciplinary experimental research and team work.
  • Drive to learn new skills.

Deadline and Application

The deadline for the application is on 05 November 2024. For more details and application, visit the official website.

Wed Nov 13 , 2024
In order to investigate a fundamental issue how organ structure and function originate during development they are seeking a postdoctoral fellow who is interested in integrating interdisciplinary techniques with the exceptional tractability of the zebrafish heart. To solve this basic issue, the right applicant will work with theorists and employ sophisticated microscopic techniques, image analysis, genetic modifications, and biophysical approaches. The chosen applicant should be a good team player and eager to pursue joint research. Deadline: 20 December 2024
