Ph.D. Fellowship in Wide-Field Fluorescence Lifetime Microscopy
Designation:
Ph.D. Fellow in Bioengineering and Robotics, Curriculum Bionanotechnologies
Research Area:
Bioengineering, Robotics, Bionanotechnologies, Optical Microscopy, Machine Learning
Location:
Università degli Studi di Genova, Genova, Italy
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Master’s degree or equivalent in Engineering, Physics, or related disciplines.
- Proficiency in spoken and written English.
- Ability and motivation to work both independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary team.
- Coding skills, particularly in Python, are highly desirable.
- Experience in microscopy or control systems will be considered a plus.
Job Description:
The selected Ph.D. candidate will be an integral part of a mission to design and develop state-of-the-art microscopes and analytical tools. The project focuses on fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), a cutting-edge technique combining conventional fluorescence intensity measurements with nanosecond-scale temporal dynamics. The goal is to implement a wide-field FLIM system with high temporal resolution, integrating innovative optical light-sheet architecture with novel large pixellated detectors featuring time-resolved capabilities. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of photonics technologies, spectroscopy techniques, and machine learning approaches, collaborating closely with biologists to refine these tools for new biological insights.
