Postdoc: Development of a Novel MINFLUX Microscope
Max F. Perutz Laboratories
Vienna, Austria
About the position/the research project
Access to MINFLUX microscopy is limited by the cost of commercial and the difficulty of building custom instruments. We recently developed an excitation module for MINFLUX that will substantially reduce the complexity and cost of a custom microscope (Deguchi & Ries, bioRxiv 2023). In this project we will develop this idea into a prototype and then into a stable open-source microscope for the community.
You will work closely together with an electrical engineer who will be developing the instrument control software and electronics, and you will be part of a laboratory with long-standing microscope development experience.
Candidates
We are looking for a talented, highly motivated postdoctoral scientist who is excited to develop a high-end microscope that will be useful for biological discovery. You should hold a PhD degree in physics or engineering and should have a strong background in optics and developing complex microscope hardware. Experience building scanning microscopes (STED, confocal) and in programming (Python, FPGA) is beneficial.
Training and supervision will be provided throughout the project, but we also expect a high level of drive and independence. Excellent spoken and written English skills are required.
