Responsibilities of the position include: operation and maintenance of laser-based flow cytometry analyzers and cell sorters; training of facility users; maintenance of quality control logs; reagent preparation; and some sample preparation. The position will include significant use of PC computer systems. Minimum qualifications are a Bachelor's degree, with 2 years of experience operating flow cytometry analyzers or other similar clinical/research laboratory instrumentation such as blood counters or chemistry analyzers. At least 1 year of experience handling and preparing samples derived from blood or other similar laboratory bench work is required. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are also required. This is a full-time, 12 month, regular academic professional position. Salary is commensurate with experience. The proposed starting date is July 15, 1997. In order to ensure full consideration, applications must be received by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17, 1997. Interviews may occur prior to this date, however, no final decision will be made until after June 17, 1997. Letters of application, resume and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of three references to: Flow Cytometry Search # 5597 C/o Thomas Bedwell University of Illinois Biotechnology Center 901 S. Mathews Ave. Urbana, IL 61801 The University of Illinois is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Minorities, women and other designated class members are encouraged to apply. Position #2 Research Specialist in Life Sciences (Flow Cytometry) 12 Month-50% The Biotechnology Center at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Campus has an opening for a Research Specialist in Life Sciences in the Flow Cytometry Facility to assist with the development of new applications and technology. Responsibilities of the position include: assisting users in the development of fluorescence lifetime-based flow cytometry techniques; development of new flow cytometry applications; assisting with wet workshops and other training programs; operation of laser-based cell sorters and flow cytometers; and data analysis using PC-based software.
