The AIC makes cutting-edge, pre-commercial microscopes available to visiting scientists at no cost, maximizing the impact of the latest developments in emerging microscopy technologies.
We encourage applications from scientists who are addressing significant scientific questions that require measurements of cellular/molecular behavior at spatial and/or temporal resolutions that would only be possible through access to the AIC.
Upon approval, visiting scientists spend 2-3 weeks at Janelia conducting experiments on their chosen microscope(s) with the support of the AIC team. Janelia covers the costs of lodging for the visiting scientists, technical support, and scope time. Basic experimental reagents (e.g. tissue culture plates, pipettes, coverslips) will be provided. Other experimental reagent costs may be covered at the discretion of the AIC.
This program is open to investigators at non-profit institutions. HHMI affiliation is not required.
Deadline: February 1, 2024
