Fluorescence Microscopy information

What is fluorescence microscopy?

A Fluorescence Microscopy job involves using specialized microscopes and fluorescent dyes to study biological samples at a microscopic level. Professionals in this field work in research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, imaging cells, tissues, or molecular structures. Responsibilities may include sample preparation, image analysis, and troubleshooting microscope equipment. This role is crucial in biomedical research, diagnostics, and drug development. Strong expertise in microscopy techniques and data interpretation is typically required.

What types of samples or experiments will I typically work with in fluorescence microscopy?

In a Fluorescence Microscopy role, you will often prepare and analyze biological samples such as cells, tissues, or small organisms, applying fluorescent labeling techniques to visualize specific structures or molecules. Your daily work may include designing experiments, optimizing imaging protocols, and interpreting data for research or diagnostics. Collaboration with other scientists or lab technicians is common, as projects can be multidisciplinary and require input from different areas of expertise. This hands-on, research-driven environment offers opportunities to develop new imaging techniques and contribute to scientific discoveries.

NIST PREP Postdoc Associate in Microparticle Measurements in Microfluidics

Southeastern Universities Research Association

Gaithersburg, MD • On-site

$78K - $79K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 25 days ago

Job description

This position is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest and thus requires that such institutions be the recipients of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration.
U.S. Citizen Preferred
Research Title: Control and measurement of microparticle in microfluidics
The work will entail: This research project will entail design and testing of new methods for manipulation and optical characterization of materials in microflows. The scientist will work closely with a collaborative, multidisciplinary team of researchers to design, build, and model novel instrumentation that provides measurements of chemicals, microparticles, cells and cellular organelles in optofluidic measurement systems. The scientist will conduct experiments to estimate chemical mixing times, particle sizes and counts, fluorophore quantification limits, and limits to dynamic measurement delays that may be limited, for example, by particle tracking capabilities. The scientist will maintain cells and prepare assays of beads, cells, and organelles that will be used in devices that can passively purify reagents in flow (e.g. inertial focusing and dynamic lateral displacement arrays). Devices to stimulate and assess cellular function will also be fabricated and tested. Fluorescence microscopy and conventional flow cytometry will be utilized to benchmark measurements.
Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to:
  • Maintain cells and prepare reagents
  • Design, build and use microfluidic devices with integrated optical measurement regions
  • Analyze cell and particle measurements in microfluidic devices and in culture via microscopy
  • Presenting results at internal meetings, and occasional meetings with external stakeholders.
  • Ensuring that results, protocols, software, and documentation have been archived or otherwise transmitted to the larger organization.

Qualifications
  • A doctoral degree in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience with microfluidics device design, control, and use
  • Experience with clean room photolithography
  • Experience with fluorescence microscopy
  • Familiarity with Matlab software for instrument control and data analysis
  • Familiarity with flow cytometry
  • Strong oral and written communication skills

Privacy Act StatementAuthority: 15 U.S.C. § 278g-1(e)(1) and (e)(3) and 15 U.S.C. § 272(b) and (c)
Purpose: The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) hosts the Professional Research Experience Program (PREP) which is designed to provide valuable laboratory experience and financial assistance to undergraduates, post-bachelor's degree holders, graduate students, master's degree holders, postdocs, and faculty.
PREP is a 5-year cooperative agreement between NIST laboratories and participating PREP Universities to establish a collaborative research relationship between NIST and U.S. institutions of higher education in the following disciplines including (but may not be limited to) biochemistry, biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, engineering, electronics, materials science, mathematics, nanoscale science, neutron science, physical science, physics, and statistics. This collection of information is needed to facilitate the administrative functions of the PREP Program.
Routine Uses: NIST will use the information collected to perform the requisite reviews of the applications to determine eligibility, and to meet programmatic requirements. Disclosure of this information is also subject to all the published routine uses as identified in the Privacy Act System of Records Notices: NIST-1: NIST Associates.
Disclosure: Furnishing this information is voluntary. When you submit the form, you are indicating your voluntary consent for NIST to use of the information you submit for the purpose stated. By applying to a CHIPS-funded PREP opportunity, you also acknowledge that participation in the project requires signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to beginning any work.
