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 (or related). Of particular
importance will be the use of cell culture and animal models of
vascular and microvascular injury. 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 Optimas, 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. Salary comensurate with experience.
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. Some corn is grown in the
region!
