[情報] PhD student positions in Germany
The Physical Biology Group of Prof. Dr. Ernst H. K. Stelzer at
the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main invites PhD students
interested in high resolution, light sheet-based fluorescence
microscopy
We seek to employ an enthusiastic, highly motivated physics or
bioinformatics student holding, or about to obtain a diploma or
an equivalent degree, with strong interests in the modern
three-dimensional microscopy, and image reconstruction processing
and visualization.
The specific project we are interested in combines the high
resolution structured illumination technique with light sheet-based
fluorescence microscopy. Structured illumination microscopy
is one of the high resolution techniques nowadays that achieves
a resolution of less than 100 nm. Light sheet-based fluorescence
microscopy is a three-dimensional microscopy that reduces phototoxicity
by two to four orders of magnitude and allows live and long-term
imaging. The project concentrates on a novel microscopic system. Our
aim is to implement the high resolution, low photo-toxicity, and live
imaging microscope and to apply it with biological samples, e.g.
three-dimensional and live imaging of microtubule asters. The
successful applicant will learn the physics behind advanced light
microscopy technologies and contribute to building the new microscope,
developing the image reconstruction program, and applying the microscope
with biological samples. Additionally, we also evaluate the combination
of light sheet-based
fluorescence microscopy with other high resolution techniques such as
photoactivated localization microscopy.
The group of Prof. Stelzer (www.physikalischebiologie.de) is part of the
Buchmann Institute for Molecular Life Science (www.bmls.de). It constitutes
an interdisciplinary team of chemists, biologists, biotechnologists,
mathematicians, and physicists. The laboratory is equipped with state of
the art facilities for cell culture and molecular biology, as well as with
advanced fluorescence microscopy equipment, including light sheet-based
fluorescence microscopy. The group is particularly interested in observing
threedimensional processes of cellular systems as a function of time.
Therefore, we are pursuing for better microscopic technique as well as
providing physical explanation to address biological questions. It is very
interesting to work in such an interdisciplinary team because, for
example, to understand the need from a biologist, then to develop
a new technique and test it immediately; or to discuss physical
explanation of biological phenomena with biologist. There is full
of learning and surprise to do science here.
The position is currently available to commence as soon as possible. For now,
the contract will be limited till 31.12.2014. The selection process will
take place as soon as possible until the position is filled. Full
consideration is given to all applications received by 31.03.2013.
Come on, give your life a twist and contact
