NMI events and announcements
We would like to highlight that Euro-BioImaging has been awarded a number of important Horizon Europe and other grants to provide funding for user access at Euro-BioImaging Nodes, including NMI. These grants will support researchers to unleash the power of cutting-edge imaging technologies and gain access to other European research infrastructures to enhance scientific results.
Please visit Euro-BioImaging’s website here to find out more. There are lots of imaging opportunities available!
We invite you to participate in the KBC Days 2023 where the Umeå NMI research infrastructure will be presented. New NMI users are welcome to join and to talk to both BICU and UCEM staff. The microscopy facilities also offer facility tours.
Time of event: 7-8 November
Location: Umeå University, KBC-Building
Deadline for registration: 25th October

Our Facility in Gothenburg, Sweden, is now recruiting (permanent position) a motivated and experienced Scientific Officer with expertise in Electron Microscopy and its various applications in life sciences and more specifically in volume EM and correlative multimodal imaging.
The post-holder will work within the Centre for Cellular Imaging (CCI) national research infrastructure and in direct collaboration with the Cellular and Molecular Imaging SciLifeLab platform. The position will involve direct participation in the research projects by performing ultrastructural analysis on various biological specimens including cultured yeast, bacteria, insect, and mammalian cells as well as model organisms such as flies, nematodes, fish, and rodents. The post-holder will participate directly in the development of new 3D volume EM techniques under the guidance of the CCI Team and together with the Cellular and Molecular Imaging Scilifelab platform. Please, help us to spread this information in your networks, thank you!
