Welcome to Purdue University Cytometry Laboratories' Information Network
Postdoctoral Position Available
Exciting Postdoctoral Position.....(Graduate positions also available)
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Purdue University
Cytometry Laboratories, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. The successful
candidate will work in the area of the role of reactive oxygen/nitrogen intermediates
in tissue injury and have an interest in inflammation research. Of particular
importance will be the use of cell culture and animal models of vascular and
microvascular injury. ( more information)
Experience with intravital microscopy would be advantageous,
but not necessary. We will consider excellent candidates from a variety of fields.
The successful candidate will be one who shows an ability for scientific discernment,
an ability to work hard, and a driven desire to apply cytometric technologies in
innovative ways (basically a minor god).
The candidate will be expected to take advantage of the excellent cytometry
facilities available in this center.
The laboratory consists of a 5,500 sq.ft complex in which are contained
specialized areas for tissue culture, general preparation and surgery/laboratory
space, office space and instrumentation laboratories. Within the latter are several
flow cytometers (Coulter Elite, Epics 753, Bio-Rad Bryte) used for both cell sorting
and analysis, two confocal microscopes and an array of image analysis systems.
The confocal scopes include a real time DVC 250 with a very sensitive intensified
camera and analysis workstation running Metamorph & Metafluor. The other confocal
system is the MRC 1024 UV-visible which is a state-of-the-art system on a Nikon
300 inverted scope. Both systems have temperature controlled platforms for
physiological measurements. For image analysis we have two Silicon Graphics
Indigo 2 workstations running VoxelView, and systems running Microvoxel and
Optimus, as well as the MRC 1024 image analysis packages. In addition, the
laboratory maintains all of the usual research facilities necessary for a good
research program. The applicant need not have prior experience with these particular
instruments. We want an excellent scientist first and we can teach you how to
use the tools we have available. This could be an excellent opportunity to
develop new and exciting skills in cytometry.
West Lafayette, while not considered the center of the civilized world, is
realy quite a nice place to live! The cost of living is low, but the quality
of life is high.
