Position description
The Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University
of California, Berkeley seeks applications for up to three
Junior/Assistant/Associate/Full Specialist positions in the
Upadhyayula Lab, in the area of Biological Science .
The Advanced BioImaging Center (ABC) at UC Berkeley aspires to be a
world leading multidisciplinary imaging center that drives
important biological discoveries through critical new advances in
all aspects of imaging technology and that drives the dissemination
of that technology through a multi-pronged education strategy to
scientists around the world. ABC was intentionally designed to
maximize scientific productivity and impact by adopting
groundbreaking imaging technologies such as the next-generation
adaptive optical multifunctional microscope, incorporating the
high-level technical expertise of instrumentation scientists ,
applied mathematicians, and computational scientists, and building
worldwide collaborations aimed at tackling the challenges posed by
terabyte and petabyte-scale imaging data processing, visualization,
and dissemination. You will have access to leading - edge imaging
and computing hardware, as well as exposure to the Bay Area's
brightest minds from a range of diverse disciplines, including in
the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Mathematics,
and more.
The positions involve close collaboration on a number of new and
ongoing empirical projects in the fields of microscopy and data
analysis. The incumbent will work on tera-to-petabyte scale
research data and will have the opportunity to gain exposure to and
training with a broad set of research topics and methodologies. The
roles exercise judgment within generally defined practices and
policies in selecting methods and techniques for obtaining
solutions.
The duties of the positions include:
* Operate and maintain the next generation multi-functional
adaptive optical microscope(s) and other pre-commercial optical
microscopes.
* Develop new imaging and data processing tools
* Assist with data acquisition using advance pre-commercial
microscopy systems to image biological samples ranging from cells
in culture, such as bacteria, mammalian cells, and organoids to
intact organisms, such as zebrafish or mice, etc.
* Be involved in the applications of these tools for biological
imaging; collaborate with Postdocs and graduate students on
specific projects to test, learn and implement for general and
specific use cases.
* Be an integral part of the expert team working together with
computational scientists and biologists in experimental design to
tackle complex biological questions in a quantitative manner.
* Train and assist students and researchers in the use of software
applications
* Train and assist users with their imaging or data processing
tasks.
* May supervise intern and/or undergraduate researchers.
* General organization and management of software
documentation.
