Octopus Industrial Placement

Join our team at the Central Laser Facility, where we specialize in advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques and support researchers across the UK and Europe. We are seeking a motivated undergraduate student to assist in using fluorescence microscopy to solve biological questions and help implement multiplexing imaging for super resolution microscopy.

This role will involve practical aspects such as cell culture, immunolabelling techniques, operating and performing quality control of the microscope, and image processing and analysis. You will also be working on a research project that involves imaging of biological samples, optimisation of immunolabelling and multicolour super resolution microscopy.

The aim of the project is to increase the number of targets that we can visualise in a single sample. You will have the opportunity to work with a team of experts in the field and contribute to cutting-edge research.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Assist in the development and implementation of multiplexing imaging for super resolution microscopy
  • Conduct cell culture and immunolabelling techniques
  • Operate and perform quality control of the microscope
  • Analyse and process images
  • Contribute to a research project involving imaging of biological samples

Requirements:

  • Currently enrolled on an undergraduate degree course and returning to university/studies to complete your undergraduate degree following the placement
  • Required or have requested to take an industrial placement year
  • Have the right to live and work in the UK for the duration of the placement
  • Able to commence employment in summer 2025
  • The candidate must be taking a relevant Life Sciences degree
  • An interest in photo physics/biophysics
  • Good record keeping skills
  • Good time/workload management skills
  • Self-motivation and a creative/flexible approach to overcoming challenges

How to Apply:

Online applications only preferred for this role. Assessment will only be based upon the content of your submitted covering letter and CV and not the 'experience' section of the application.
