Offer Description
Description of the group and the position
A research group lead by Vladimira Petrakova focused on nanophotonics and light engineering for applications in bioimaging and sensorics at the Heyrovsky Institute in Prague is searching for candidates for the position of postdoctoral researcher. Our current efforts focus on developing DNA-origami based platforms for spatial manipulation of light using plasmonic assemblies. The project combines approaches from many fields – single molecule microscopy and spectroscopy, superresolution microscopy, DNA nanotechnology, plasmonics, and machine learning. The focus of the position will be on single-molecule fluorescence. The ideal candidate will have a background in biophysics, photonics, microscopy, and spectroscopy and interest in non-conventional fluorophores, DNA origami, and data analysis.
Apply for the position if you
- have strong background in
o single-molecule fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy (steady state and time resolved)
o methods like FRET, MIET or related
o data analysis (python, R, imageJ or others)
- have experience or interest in
o DNA origami, DNA nanotechnology
o Superresolution microscopy and home-built microscope setups
o Nanophotonics or plasmonics
o Non-conventional fluorophores like NV centers in diamond and gold nanoclusters
- like
o to think deep about scientific problems and come up with solutions
o coming up with scientific questions worth studying
o working in an international and multidisciplinary team
o communicating your research in simple terms to colleagues with different background
If you like new challenges and want to grow into a leading scientist, please let us know about you. Send us your CV and a motivation letter where you tell us why you are interested in the position and why we should choose you. The motivation letter should not just reiterate the content of your CV, but it should explain how you will apply your existing expertise to the scientific topics you will work on in our group and what areas of expertise you will have to build.
