Offer Description

The postdoc position is part of the ERC-Advanced Project Nanocubic of prof. Sjoerd Stallinga, in which we target 3D super-resolution microscopy by breakthrough designs of illumination patterns that are sequentially projected into the sample volume, together with advanced image reconstruction techniques. We strive for isotropic resolution on the 100 nm scale in standard fluorescent samples and 1 nm in single-molecule imaging based techniques. The envisioned advances in microscopic imaging further open the nanoscopic world for scientific exploration. The project builds on the lab's track-record in the field of computational imaging techniques for super-resolution microscopy.


Requirements
Specific Requirements

We are looking for a candidate with a successfully completed PhD-project in theoretical optics, computational imaging, or a combination of both. Expertise in computational techniques, with a focus on modeling, developing theory and running simulations and data analyses is necessary. Expertise in microscopy is highly welcomed. Most importantly, a drive for science and methodological advance is crucial for the job. Next to the science, we also offer opportunities to develop your own career, in the areas of teaching, leadership, and developing research ideas independently.
