Lecturer Position: Centre for Microscopy & Microanalysis (fwd)

LECTURER (REF: A26/20)
CENTRE FOR MICROSCOPY AND MICROANALYSIS
The Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis (CMM) is the principal
node of the Western Australian Centre for Microscopy (WACM), a State
Government Centre of Excellence at the University of Western
Australia. WACM has partner facilities at Curtin, Murdoch and Edith
Cowan Universities. The CMM is also a core partner in the recently
established Nanostructural Analysis Network Organisation (NANO) and
we expect to install a high-resolution ion microprobe in 2003, as
part of the local NANO capability. CMM facilities are extensive, and
include digital optical and confocal microscopes, four TEMs and seven
SEMs, together with extensive specimen preparation equipment in a
newly refurbished site.

The appointee(s) will provide leadership and collaboration with users
in biological research involving optical, confocal and electron
microscopy techniques. In particular, the appointee will be expected
to initiate the development and enhancement of cryo-microscopy, x-ray
microanalysis and associated specimen preparation. Activities will
include the training and teaching of users of microscopical and
related microanalysis facilities in biological applications. It is
essential that the appointee has detailed knowledge in the
instrumental and application aspects of biological microscopy.
Experience with or an interest in relevant SIMS techniques would be
of benefit and should be noted in the application.

The position is expected to be formally shared with one or more of
the newly-formed UWA Schools of Plant Biology, Biomedical and
Chemical Sciences, Animal Biology or Anatomy and Human Biology.

The minimum qualification required is a PhD in Biological/Biomedical
Sciences or equivalent. The successful applicant must have strong
interpersonal skills and the ability to work with other staff within
the Centre and its users. Joint supervision of post-graduate students
is expected, in the relevant Schools. The position is tenurable.
Applicants with tertiary teaching experience should submit a teaching
portfolio as part of their application.
