Post-doctoral position in membrane-based nano-mechanobiology
Link to apply: https://jobs.icfo.eu/?detail=864
ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.
The Single Molecule Biophotonics group led by Prof. Dr. María García-Parajo is looking for well-qualified, self-motivated and curiosity-driven candidates who wish to make original contributions in the field of Nano-MechanoBiology. The candidates will be part of an Advanced ERC project aimed to study how cell membrane adhesion receptors sense and respond to mechanical stimuli by changing their nanoscale organization and dynamics on the cell membrane and how this affects mechanotransduction and cell response. The project will combine cutting-edge super-resolution and single molecule imaging, molecular and cell biology together with specifically designed mechanical devices to exert and measure forces at the nanoscale. A strong effort will be placed on the development of suitable algorithms (including deep learning) for data quantification. We offer an outstanding scientific and stimulating environment with multiple interactions with international colleagues.

ICFO is offering postdoctoral and research engineer positions to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientists who wish to enhance their scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.
The successful candidate will be joining the Optoelectronics group led by Prof. Dr. Valerio Pruneri.
The group has experience in the study and developing of new advanced materials, devices and systems for information and communication technologies, in particular displays, image sensors and cybersecurity. The main driving is to carry out research which bridges academia and industry, by developing fundamental ideas with great potential for revolutionizing future photonic products.
The candidates will work on projects aimed at building the next generation of quantum cryptography, entanglement distribution systems, quantum imaging and processing. The hosting group has developed technology for continuous variable quantum key distribution and quantum random number generation, now being commercialized by two ICFO’s spin-offs, Luxquanta and Quside, respectively. The next step is to develop entanglement and decoy state based systems for secure communication and quantum connections for both ground and space segments, and quantum processing and imaging devices. The group is currently involved in several European projects.

Post-doctoral position in neuromonitoring of premature born infants within the Horizon Europe project Prometeus
Link to apply: https://jobs.icfo.eu/?detail=726
ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.
ICFO Medical Optics group led by ICREA professor Turgut Durduran is a partner in Horizon Europe project “Preterm Brain-Oxygenation and Metabolic EU-Sensing: Feed the Brain” (Prometeus). Prometeus will develop a metabolic model of the interaction between the three key brain fuels and their effect on regional cerebral blood flow (CBF), oxygen saturation (StO2) and metabolism (CMRO2). The model will serve to individualize brain nutrition targeting “brain health” according to the inputs derived from novel minimally invasive metabolic sensing systems. ICFO will participate in all core tasks related to neuromonitoring of cerebral oxygen metabolism such as technology development, data acquisition, analysis and interpretation.
The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for developing SCOS modules, their integration with other modules, data acquisition, analysis and interpretation. They will also represent ICFO in the consortium and participate in secondments with academia and industry.

Post-doctoral position in personalized cancer therapy in preclinical models guided by diffuse optics
Link to apply: https://jobs.icfo.eu/?detail=727
ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.
The successful candidate will join the Medical Optics group led by Prof. Dr. Turgut Durduran to work in a multi-disciplinary project that merges physics, biology and nanotechnology. The project aims to validate and demonstrate the theranostic utility of using diffuse optical monitoring combined with plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPTT) for the treatment of solid tumors, and provide a tool for personalised oncological treatments.
Research duties will include the validation in a preclinical mouse model of a comprehensive light-based theranostic platform, and obtain the physical and statistical models to develop the data-driven algorithms that will allow for dosimetry and therapy planning. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) techniques will be used to monitor in vivo tumor physiology, nanoparticle accumulation and hemodynamics.

Post-doctoral position in dark matter search with ultracold atoms
Link to apply: https://jobs.icfo.eu/?detail=728
ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.
The successful candidate will be joining the Atomic Quantum Optics group led by Prof. Dr. Morgan Mitchell.
Searches for new particles and forces using table-top experiments is an expanding frontier of fundamental physics, which traditionally has relied upon powerful particle colliders, e.g. the LHC at CERN. Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) are well-motivated dark matter candidates that could solve multiple open problems, including the strong-CP problem in nuclear physics, and anomalous galaxy rotation rates. If they exist, axions and ALPs would mediate a distinctive monopole-dipole force, detectable in principle with atomic magnetometer technologies. Spinor Bose-Einstein condensates (SBECs) are ideal candidates to search for such forces, as they are 1) extraordinarily coherent (coherence times of many seconds), 2) very compact, allowing a SBEC magnetometer to search for short-range monopole-dipole forces that are out of reach of other sensor technologies and 3) very clean, well-understood systems, essential for understanding systematic effects. The successful candidate for this position will join a small team of PhD and post-doctoral researchers working to develop SBECs as detectors of these hypothesized new forces.
