"Postdoc Image Processing for Bioimaging & Microscopy"

The PostDoc position is part of research by Prof. Bernd Rieger and Prof. Sjoerd Stallinga, focusing on (super-resolution) microscopy image processing and analysis method development. It builds on the lab's track-record in computational imaging techniques for super-resolution microscopy and image analysis for biological imaging.

This position is part of the Netherlands BioImaging Infrastructure (http://eurobioimaging.nl), a nation-wide multi-sited facility enabling breakthroughs in cell/life science across experimental models and imaging modalities. The Delft work is in the microscopy innovation node, with collaborators at Utrecht University (Prof. Lukas Kapitein) and Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam (Prof. Adriaan Houtsmuller and the imaging center team). The PostDoc is encouraged to interact with these collaborators to define research questions regarding super-resolution microscopy method development, particularly building on Point Spread Function fitting for single molecule localization microscopy, combining computational and algorithmic aspects with optical theory.

Department of Imaging Physics: Research aims at developing novel instrumentation and methodology in imaging science and sensing technology, extending boundaries in spatial and temporal resolution, and information/data throughput. It involves computational imaging, integrating advanced physics, engineering, and computing techniques linked to real-life applications.

Job requirements: Candidates must have a Ph.D. in fields related to Physics or Electrical Engineering, with expertise in optical imaging or microscopy and numerical simulations/fitting. Excellent programming skills in Matlab or Python are required, with willingness to use both; experience in C++, CUDA/parallelization, or Docker is beneficial. Some experience in fluorescent microscopy and working in interdisciplinary environments with biologists is expected. Passion for methodological advances in microscopic imaging and sharing knowledge and software is essential.

TU Delft: A top international university combining science, engineering, and design, addressing challenges in energy, climate, mobility, health, and digital society. The university values diversity and innovation.

Faculty Applied Sciences: Employs over 1,100, including 150 principal investigators and 3,600 students, focusing on key technologies like quantum nanotechnology and biotechnology.

Conditions of employment: Contract duration is 2.5 years, 38 hours per week. Salary and benefits follow the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, with customizable compensation, health insurance discounts, and flexible schedules. Relocation support is available.
