The postdoc position is part of the ERC-Advanced Project Nanocubic, 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.

We are looking for a candidate with a successfully completed PhD-project in experimental optics, computational imaging, or a combination of both. 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.   

Fixed-term contract: 3 years.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount on health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants we offer the Coming to Delft Service and Partner Career Advice to assist you with your relocation. An International Children's Centre offers childcare and there is an international primary school.

The position has a fixed-term contract of 3 years.
