Friends in flow,
I am stepping aside as director of the cytometry facilities here at the
University of Illinois to focus full-time on new technology development. We
are looking for someone ready to assume the role as director of a mature,
state-of-the-art set of core facilities. The facilities are equipped with
Two Mo-Flos and Three EPICS XL instruments. The laboratories are large and
well equipped. We have a large user base and strong institutional support.
It is definitely a time for growth and expansion here at UIUC. I am very
excited about the future here and I plan to partner with the new director
in the introduction of new cell handling and measurement technologies. I
would be happy to discuss this unique opportunity with any interested
parties. Below is the "official" position announcement. Official
application should be made as described below.
