Job 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

We are looking for a candidate with a successfully completed PhD-project in experimental optics, computational imaging, or a combination of both. A skill set and track record in challenging experimental setups in optics and/or imaging is sought after. 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.

Conditions of employment

Fixed-term contract: 2 years.

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

For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.

The position has a fixed-term contract of 2 years.
