The EU-funded research project AMBER will announce its second round of postdoctoral fellowship positions on the 14th of June 2024. AMBER, Advanced Multiscale Biological imaging using European Research infrastructures, will address scientific and sectoral gaps in biological imaging ranging from molecular, through cellular, to tissue, organ and organism levels of organisation. 

Around 15 postdocs will be recruited in this call, with each fellowship lasting 36 months. 

Scientists holding (or about to receive soon) a PhD in the areas of physics, chemistry, medical sciences, biological sciences, or other relevant areas are welcome to apply.

AMBER is coordinated by LINXS Institute of advanced Neutron and X-ray Science 

The postdocs will be recruited under the following topic areas:

•                      Biological and biomedical imaging

•                      Lipids, lipid-based therapeutics and partially ordered systems

•                      Protein structure in health and pathology

•                      Probing, imaging and manipulating molecular interactions in biology

The postdoctoral fellows will be employed at any of the AMBER partner organisations: Lund University/MAX IV, Sweden, the European Spallation Source (ESS), Sweden, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), France, the International Institute of Molecular Mechanisms and Machines, (IMOL), Poland, and the Leicester Institute of Structural and Chemical Biology, United Kingdom. 

Their work will include clinical and biomedical projects. It will also include technique development work aimed at combining imaging techniques and data analysis to provide a more integrated picture of life processes in the context of health and disease. 

The application deadline is the 6th of September 2024. 

AMBER is funded by the EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA) COFUND scheme.
