PhD candidate or Postdoc for numerical modelling of optical spectroscopy, Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology, Jena, Germany
Using numerical models, the candidate will quantitatively investigate the potential of optical spectroscopy or biomedical
applications, considering the limitations set by current spectroscopic techniques as well as fundamentally by the nature of light.
This sensitivity and specificity analysis for complex biological samples will contribute to the development of novel infrared
spectroscopic techniques1,2 toward addressing unmet medical diagnostic needs, in particular in severe infections and sepsis3.
The candidate will be affiliated with the Field-Resolved Optical Precision Metrology Group as well as with the Chair of Optical
Quantum Metrology at the Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU), closely accompanying
complementary experimental work at the two institutions.
Deadline: 30th April 2024
