The role
The postholder will be working with the team at the Advanced Light Microscopy Unit (ALMU) to train, manage and support the imaging needs of ALMU's research community. The postholder will be responsible for the day-to-day maintenance and quality control of system performance, troubleshooting, and enhancing optical imaging systems, including widefield, confocal, multiphoton, super-resolution, and other advanced microscopy platforms. The successful candidate will design and implement imaging solutions, optimize data acquisition workflows, and develop optical techniques tailored to specific experimental needs. They will provide training and technical guidance to researchers on microscopy techniques and best practices, teach at courses and workshops, and occasionally collaborate in research projects. Report and document equipment issues and initiate repairs using ALMU's RT system. Ensure that all users adhere to ALMU and CRG policies and procedures. Interact with requests and bookings through ALMU's booking system. Order with CRG's purchasing system. Prepare standard samples and join the team in maintaining the wet lab area.
ALMU has over 200 users from CRG and beyond, mainly from the Barcelona area and nearby cities. As such, the role will involve addressing research questions from a broad field, ranging from cell biology, cancer biology, marine biology, plant biology, neuroscience, biophysics and cellular biomechanics. The postholder will be expected to operate a broad spectrum of instrumentation at ALMU covering technical capabilities for live-cell imaging, 2-photon, spectral imaging, TIRF, FRET, FLIM, photomanipulation and FCS, as well as super-resolution technologies such as airyscan, STED, STED/FLIM and STORM/dSTORM, bioimage processing, analysis and data visualization.

About ALMU
ALMU is a walk-in core unit, part of CRG's Core Technologies Programme and member of Core for Life and EU-LIFE, an excellence alliance of core facilities and research institutes in Europe, and on the path to becoming a Euro-Bioimaging node. We are located in the level -1 of the PRBB building and together with our neighbours the Mesoscopic Imaging Facility (MIF) of EMBL Barcelona, we provide support and access to the full spectrum of light microscopy. We also collaborate with other research institutes in Barcelona, nationally and internationally.
ALMU is dedicated to assisting the research community with all aspects of Quantitative Bioimaging, including experimental design, sample preparation, acquisition, bioimage data processing and analysis, automation and data visualization.
Our unit consists of microscope systems specifically designed for fluorescence microscopy and cover different modalities ranging from widefield and confocal to super-resolution technologies and use primarily open-source software for bioimage data analysis, including AI-based bioimage analysis. We also run teaching courses and workshops in collaboration with CRG Training for the internal, local and international scientific community. ALMU also develops new imaging-based methods and technologies and collaborates with the scientific community and our partner microscopy companies.
