Career Paths for Imaging Scientists

Global Bioimaging's Career Paths for Imaging Scientists Working Group collected information on the challenges experienced by personnel in core facilities. Drawing on this data, the group has written one International Recommendation paper and, subsequently, two articles on the Journal of Microscopy:

• “Recognising the importance and impact of Imaging Scientists: Global guidelines for establishing career paths within core facilities”
• "Making the invisible visible: A global examination of careers and recognition for Imaging Scientists in core facilities"

The group aims to offer a global perspective on the challenges faced by core facility scientists and propose recommendations for nurturing their professional advancement, drawing insights from successful case studies.
