Image Analysis Specialist/Engineer/Coordinator

The position
This role offers a unique opportunity to apply and integrate advanced image processing techniques to progress the fields of biomedical and life sciences. Working within a team of biologists, physicists and engineers, the specialist will help build robust and reproducible protocols to extract meaningful quantitative information from both simple and complex microscopy datasets and present it effectively. 

This is a joint position between Biomedicum Imaging Unit (BIU) at the Meilahti campus and Light Microscopy Unit (LMU) at the Viikki campus, which are open access core facilities offering a wide variety of basic and advanced light microscopy techniques to several hundred local, national and international users annually. 
 
Specific tasks
•  Develop and apply different image analysis approaches to, for example, segment, track, and characterize cellular structures and dynamics in biological systems, including 3D and timelapse light microscopy data, and embed these approaches into the general service portfolio of BIU/LMU.
•  Maintain custom scripts and software tools for microscopy image analysis and data processing, implement image analysis according to FAIR principles.
•  Create a well organised, version controlled (including software version packaging) space for sharing image analysis workflows.
•  Communicate concepts of image analysis and their relevance for biological questions to experts and non-experts.
•  Take part in the planning stage of users’ imaging projects.
•  Organise monthly Helsinki Bioimaging Call4Help sessions for users.
