UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits and natural beauty. All of which has allowed the UW to be nationally recognized as a “Great College to Work For” for four consecutive years.
The Department of Immunology has grown to include 33 faculty, ~30 graduate students and more than 70 post-doctoral trainees. We are a strongly interactive group and share the view that the immune system provides an unparalleled platform from which to study processes common to all of mammalian biology, processes unique to host defense, and processes of clear and immediate importance to the understanding and amelioration of human disease.
The Gerner Lab in the Department of Immunology at the UW School of Medicine has an excellent opportunity for an Imaging Data Scientist (Research Scientist 4).
Research in the Gerner lab uses advanced microscopy technologies, such as multi-parameter confocal imaging and intravital 2-photon microscopy to study the development of immune responses to vaccination, infection, or during cancer. The Imaging Data Scientist will develop novel methods for in situ analysis of gene expression, in vivo cell photoconversion, or multiparameter image analysis, which will collectively allow a better understanding of how cellular positioning in tissues influences gene expression and cellular function. These new tools and findings will promote a better understanding of immune response generation in vivo, as well as advance biomedical technology development.
Responsibities:
Technology Development and Experimentation: (70%)
Data Analysis/Reporting, Data Presentation, and Scientific Manuscript Writing: (30%)
The Imaging Data Scientist will work highly independently with regular oversight from the PI. The individual in this position may also help train and monitor the work of junior staff using the developed tools and will interact in a collaborative manner with other teams to accomplish overarching goals. The incumbent will provide ideas to the rest of the group to improve overall efficiency.
