This post will contribute to the development of the University's student record system (SITS:Vision, known internally as SAMIS).  SAMIS is utilised by staff and students across the institution and is constantly evolving to meet new requirements and increase efficiency.  SAMIS is used to store and maintain information relating to all students from application through to graduation and is central to numerous University procedures.  SAMIS is also used for the compilation of statutory data returns to external bodies (HESA/HEFCE) and is the primary source of management information on students and applicants across the institution.

The development of SAMIS is coordinated between the Student Records Examinations Office (SREO) and Bath University Computing Services (BUCS), with SREO providing the detailed knowledge of business processes and data management, whilst BUCS provide more technical expertise. The post holder will, therefore, also provide support to the SAMIS Project Manager within BUCS.

Following a reorganisation within the University to Faculty/School level administration, SREO plays a pivotal role in the development of SAMIS systems to support efficiency and ensure consistency of approach within the new University structure.  Working closely with the Assistant Registrar (SREO), the post-holder will be part of a cross-departmental (SREO/BUCS) team proactively developing and supporting this crucial area of work within the University. Interacting regularly with SAMIS users across the University the post-holder will apply their detailed knowledge and understanding of SAMIS to the development of new systems and procedures.

This is a fixed term appointment for a period of 2 years in the first instance.

The salary for this post will be a range starting from £60,000 p.a. (based on a 37.5 hour week) and is negotiable based on the commensurate level of experience of the successful candidate.  Generous pension and vacation allowance is offered.  In order to support the work of the GOC as an international organisation, flexibility in approach to working hours is essential.  The post holder will be required to work some evenings and weekends, and also undertake extensive international travel.

Team Leader – Head of Electron Microscopy Core Facility

Team Leader â€" Head of Electron Microscopy Core Facility

Location: Heidelberg, Germany
Staff Category: Staff Member
Contract Duration: 5 years
Grading: 9
Closing Date: 10 June 2012
Reference number: HD_00230

Job Description
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is one of the highest ranked scientific research organisations in the world. The Headquarters Laboratory is located in Heidelberg (Germany) and the outstations are in Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany), Hinxton (UK) and Monterotondo (Italy).

EMBL is searching for a Team Leader and Head of its electron microscopy core facility (EMCF). The team currently comprises a mixed service and research team (jointly affiliated with EMBLs Core Facilities Services and Cell Biology and Biophysics units) with four members dedicated to service staff and four to research and development. It provides advanced electron microscopy, including electron tomography and correlative light and electron microscopy, services to EMBL and external users from EMBL’s member states. The facility furthermore regularly organizes international courses to train scientists in EM methods and actively collaborates wit h industrial partners to develop new applications of EM. In addition the facility collaborates closely with EMBL’s Advanced Light Microscopy Facility, EMBL’s mechanical and electronic workshops and in-house research groups for new EM technology development.

In addition to organizing and providing highest quality service in EM, it is therefore desirable that the future Team Leader also has an interest in EM methods development in order to maintain the technology at the cutting edge and extend the facility’s service portfolio to enable new biological applications. Such new methods could include, but are not limited to, new 3D EM methods (e.g. serial scanning methods), automation for high throughput EM, new correlative EM methods or new data analysis methods. Methods development could be driven by an independent interest in biological questions that can be addressed by EM or by a keen interest in scientific collaborations with biological research groups at EMBL. If appropriate, a joint appointment as a research Team Leader in one of EMBL’s biological research Units, as is currently the case with the Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit, is foreseen to strengthen and support these interactions. The successful candidate should have in depth knowledge and broad experience in electron microscopy methods including data analysis. Excellent organizational skills, experience in EM service, and training, and strong skills to manage a team of technical and scientific personnel will be essential. The Team Leader should have excellent communication skills since the facility will be used by many in-house scientists (including all of EMBL’s five sites) as well as by international visitors coming from EMBL’s member states. The successful candidate should have a strong motivation to work in the multidisciplinary and collaborative environment of EMBL with its many research groups. Experience in collaborations with industrial partners will be an asset . Fluent English as the working language of EMBL is required.

Application Instructions
Please apply online via Apply Online below.

Please include a cover letter, CV and a concise description of research interests future research plans.
