Job shadowing is a "on-the-job" learning opportunity. Job shadowing program is open to the staff of imaging core facilities that offer access to biological and/or biomedical imaging and also to those who wish to pursue career in imaging core facilities.
Essentially, job shadowing involves working with other facility staff in a different facility who might have more experience, provide open user access, operate a different set of imaging technologies, and so on. This experience helps the participants of the program to learn new aspects related to user access, quality management, software tools, image data storage and analysis, facility management or the latest technologies in the field.
The program allows both the hosting facility and their guests to exchange experiences and ideas. It also has the added value to support networking and prepare possible future collaborations between imaging facilities and infrastructures.
General guidelines of the program can be downloaded from the attachments section on the right hand side. They describe the general features of the job shadowing program and provide some practical information on the procedure to be followed by both the hosting facilities and the job shadowing visitor.
The imaging facilities as part of the job shadowing program are listed in the table below and cover both biological imaging (light and electron microscopy) and biomedical imaging (preclinical/animal imaging).
The next round of applications from technical and managerial staff of imaging core facilities who are interested to participate in the international job shadowing program will take place in June 2024 as part of an open call for applications. The details of an open call will be announced here.
