scientific staff / doctoral student / postdoc (m/f/d)
For 3 years, with up to 100% of the regular weekly working hours to be filled. There is the opportunity for your own scientific further qualification (usually PhD / habilitation). The compatibility of family and work is of high importance. The position is generally also suitable for part-time employees. Please indicate this wish in your application.
In the framework of a DFG-funded research project we are working on the further development of coherent fiber bundles for high-resolution lens-free endomicroscopy. The aim is to optimize the image quality and functionality of these fiber bundles to create new possibilities in biomedical imaging (e.g., in vivo brain tumor diagnostics, cochlear implant monitoring, imaging of periodontitis therapy) and also to enable therapies. Modern technologies such as two-photon 3D printing and laser ablation are used to create precise optical structures and improve the performance of the fiber bundles. Also the modification of the underlying fiber bundle (e.g., tapering) improves photon efficiency and is being studied here. The aim is to find the best balance between the individual possibilities and to demonstrate it finally
Requirements:
- Above-average scientific university degree in physics, photonics, optics or related disciplines.
- Knowledge in optics, specifically: fiber optics, diffractive optics and experimental optics.
- Initial experience in laser processing and optical characterization is advantageous.
- Ability to work independently and goal-oriented.
- High commitment
- Proficient command of English
We offer:
- A varied, highly current and demanding research activity
- An interdisciplinary research group whose shown paradigm shifts have been awarded with high-level prizes (over 100 awards in total)
- Modernly equipped laboratories
- Opportunity to publish in high-quality journals and to attend international conferences for scientific exchange
- Excellent contacts with partners from research and industry
- Flexible working hours
- An annual vacation entitlement of 30 days within a 5-day week
- Participation in the additional pension scheme for civil servants via the VBL
