Scientific focus area
Biomedical Engineering and Biophysics, Cell Biology, Computational Biology, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry
The Light Imaging Section at the National Institute of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal, and Skin Diseases at NIH is now seeking a talented and highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our team.
About the position
Our imaging core supports a broad and diverse portfolio of projects. Collaborations may span NIAMS and the wider NIH intramural community, giving you as a fellow exposure to many scientific questions, biological systems, and experimental approaches. This is not a single-project position. It is a diversified role for someone who enjoys learning, adapting, solving problems, and contributing to many projects at the same time.
Because this position is in a collaborative core environment, scientific and technical excellence are only part of what we are looking for. I desire someone who is collegial, kind, and genuinely happy to help. The successful candidate should enjoy answering questions, training users, troubleshooting, discussing imaging strategies, developing AI-assisted analysis workflows, supporting automated histology slide imaging, helping with high-throughput imaging assays, and working hands-on with collaborators when needed.
This position is especially well suited for a postdoc who wants to develop broad expertise in advanced microscopy, automated slide imaging, high-throughput live-cell imaging, image analysis, and AI-based tools while learning how a high-level imaging core operates within the unique scientific environment of the NIH. Key areas of interest include Widefield, confocal, and super-resolution microscopy, Spatial biology, Automated histology slide imaging, High-throughput imaging systems, Image segmentation and quantitative image analysis, AI-based image analysis tools, Experimental design for imaging-based projects, Hands-on support of diverse research projects, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with light microscopy at multiple levels, including widefield, confocal, and super-resolution imaging. Experience with automated histology slide imaging, high-throughput imaging systems, image segmentation, quantitative image analysis, and AI-based tools is also desirable. A background in molecular immunology would be a plus. Expertise in spatial transcriptomics or spatial biology would be an additional strength.
