Early Career
The Early Career Group of Bioimaging North America is committed to empowering students (undergraduate and graduate), postdocs, recent graduates, and emerging professionals to excel in their careers within the bioimaging sector.
Our goals are:
- Provide curated guides and resources that cover essential topics such as mentorship, graduate school, and job market navigation.
- Foster a robust and inclusive network of early-career individuals from diverse backgrounds.
- Serve as a catalyst for both professional and personal development, thereby contributing to the broader advancement of the bioimaging community.
Pronouns are optional. BINA members may choose to include pronouns on their profiles if they wish. Sharing pronouns is entirely voluntary, and members are not required to provide or display pronouns.

This virtual event hosted by the Early Career WG and members of QUAREP-LiMi WG12 includes an overview by Christopher Schmied, co-chair of QUAREP-LiMi WG 12, of the “Community-developed checklists for publishing images and image analyses”, followed by a Demo from Jan Brocher expanding on his Halfway to I2K presentation and covering common challenges encountered during figure making.
A resource document with all the links to helpful resources was shared during the seminar and the recording is now available on the BINA YouTube channel.

The Bioimaging North America Early Career working group hosted a webinar on May 1st, 2025, with a set of bite-sized 5 minute presentations on a variety of tools other early career and budding microscopists/biologists/etc. might be interested in hearing a little bit about. Ranging from experimental setup tools like FPBase, to image analysis tools like CellProfiler and even the Image.sc forum and other places you can get help, hopefully we cover something interesting to those planning and carrying out imaging experiments.
