PhD candidate or Postdoc for next-generation infrared field sampling and sub-wavelength microscopy, RPTU Kaiserslautern, Germany
At the Laboratory of Lightwave Metrology you will join a dynamic, multi-disciplinary team, developing MIRFRS technology toward the fundamental sensitivity and specificity limits, and seeking to extend this technology toward super-resolution, spatially-resolved, chemically-specific characterization of living cells and tissue. While deeply rooted in basic photonics research, these novel techniques promise to address unmet medical diagnostic needs, in particular in severe infections and sepsis and in the sensitive detection of circulating tumor cells.
