Postdoc in Next Generation BioPhotonics Workstation
DTU Fotonik, Department of Photonics Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a 2-year postdoctoral position.
Apply before: 27.02.2009 at 12:00 (noon)

 

Job description
The work will be on development of new and innovative schemes for state-of-the-art trapping, manipulation and characterization by “light only” with pioneering applications in micro-fluidics, biotechnology and nano-materials research.

The research project will specifically focus on using patented optical parallel encoding and modulation techniques for:

  • Further developing our fully user-interactive BioPhotonics Workstation
  • Implementing all-optically facilitated micro-fluidic lab-on-a-chip units
  • Researching on our next generation BioPhotonics Workstation and nano-sensing fully utilising spatial, spectral and temporal properties of dynamically sculpted laser fields

The project will involve collaborative research with leading academic and industrial groups in Europe, Japan and USA.

Qualifications

  • PhD degree in physics/optics/electronic engineering obtained within the past few years
  • Strong experience in experimental physics, optics, microscopy, electronics and in particular computer-based control and instrumentation.
  • Moreover, it will be an advantage if you have experience in micro-fluidics and/or microbiology as well as being familiar with the programming environment of Labview.

We offer
An experimentally oriented research environment at the forefront of a highly active and competitive area of science including the potential for commercial spin-off activities.

Terms of employment
The salary and appointment terms are negotiated in accordance with the current collective agreement for Danish University faculty members.

Information about employment at DTU and working in Denmark is available from the DTU Welcome guide.

Further information
You are welcome to contact Research Professor Jesper Glückstad, + 45 4677 4506 / jekr@fotonik.dtu.dk. You can find general information about the research carried out in Programmable Phase Optics at www.ppo.dk. You can read more about DTU Fotonik at  www.fotonik.dtu.dk.
