Abstract

In the dynamic landscape of scientific research, imaging core facilities are vital hubs propelling collaboration and innovation at the technology development and dissemination frontier. Here, we present a collaborative effort led by Global BioImaging (GBI), introducing international recommendations geared towards elevating the careers of Imaging Scientists in core facilities. Despite the critical role of Imaging Scientists in modern research ecosystems, challenges persist in recognising their value, aligning performance metrics and providing avenues for career progression and job security. The challenges encompass a mismatch between classic academic career paths and service-oriented roles, resulting in a lack of understanding regarding the value and impact of Imaging Scientists and core facilities and how to evaluate them properly. They further include challenges around sustainability, dedicated training opportunities and the recruitment and retention of talent. Structured across these interrelated sections, the recommendations within this publication aim to propose globally applicable solutions to navigate these challenges. These recommendations apply equally to colleagues working in other core facilities and research institutions through which access to technologies is facilitated and supported. This publication emphasises the pivotal role of Imaging Scientists in advancing research programs and presents a blueprint for fostering their career progression within institutions all around the world.

承认成像科学家的重要性和影响力:在核心设施内建立职业发展途径的全球指导方针
在充满活力的科学研究领域,成像核心设施是推动技术开发和传播前沿的合作与创新的重要枢纽。在此,我们介绍由全球生物成像(GBI)领导的一项合作努力,提出了旨在提升核心设施成像科学家职业生涯的国际建议。尽管成像科学家在现代研究生态系统中发挥着至关重要的作用,但在承认他们的价值、调整绩效指标以及提供职业发展和工作保障途径方面,挑战依然存在。这些挑战包括传统的学术职业道路与以服务为导向的角色之间的不匹配,导致人们对成像科学家和核心设施的价值和影响以及如何正确评估他们缺乏了解。这些问题还包括可持续性、专门培训机会以及人才招聘和保留等方面的挑战。在这些相互关联的章节中,本出版物中的建议旨在提出全球适用的解决方案,以应对这些挑战。这些建议同样适用于在其他核心设施和研究机构工作的同事,通过这些设施和机构,可以促进和支持技术的获取。本出版物强调了成像科学家在推进研究计划中的关键作用,并为促进他们在世界各地机构中的职业发展描绘了蓝图。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Microscopy is the oldest journal dedicated to the science of microscopy and the only peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Microscopical Society. It publishes papers that report on the very latest developments in microscopy such as advances in microscopy techniques or novel areas of application. The Journal does not seek to publish routine applications of microscopy or specimen preparation even though the submission may otherwise have a high scientific merit. The scope covers research in the physical and biological sciences and covers imaging methods using light, electrons, X-rays and other radiations as well as atomic force and near field techniques. Interdisciplinary research is welcome. Papers pertaining to microscopy are also welcomed on optical theory, spectroscopy, novel specimen preparation and manipulation methods and image recording, processing and analysis including dynamic analysis of living specimens. Publication types include full papers, hot topic fast tracked communications and review articles. Authors considering submitting a review article should contact the editorial office first.
