Join the NMI-CCI facility in Gothenburg!

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!

Nordic Microscopy Symposium

Welcome to the Nordic Microscopy Symposium organised by BergmanLabora, Ramcon Denmark and Inter Instrument AS and hosted by the Live Cell Imaging core facility at Karolinska Institute (which is also a Nikon Centre of Excellence).

The purpose of the symposium is to highlight the great research being done in the Nordics where microscopy is a key tool and to showcase some new systems from Nikon (the Nikon AX confocal with NSPARC super-resolution module and Nikon/CrEST V3 spinning disk with DeepSIM structured illumination super-resolution module).

Speakers include amongst others: Zuzana Kadlecova (Cambridge Institute for Medical Research – UK), Staffan Strömblad (Karolinska Institute – Sweden), Pieta Mattila (University of Turku – Finland) and Nicoline Dorothea Daugaard (Dept. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, SDU – Denmark).

You will be given the opportunity to have either public and/or private demonstration of these systems.

Time: Tuesday 3rd October 10:00-16:15
Location: Karolinska Institute (Flemingsberg Campus), Live Cell Imaging core facility (LCI) /Nikon Centre of Excellence
Deadline for registration: 2023-09-29
