Postdoc in Super Resolution Light Microscopy

Postdoc in Super Resolution Light Microscopy

The research group within advanced optical imaging works with technical development and implementation of new types of adaptive super-resolution microscopes. This includes design of new illumination methods through the crafting of optical systems to create pulse sequences and illumination patterns that together with specific labelling methods deliver images with resolution beyond what can be achieved with traditional imaging methods. The work will be done together with the PhD students and post-docs of the group and will as such involve collaborative work with both more and less experienced colleagues.
