Job Details

The vacancy is for a three-year Post-Doctoral position in the area of experimental optics/optical engineering. The Post-Doctoral Researcher will be involved in building a novel optical microscope that is based on digital holographic microscopy. The role is centred around the design and use of optical systems utilising lasers, opto-mechanical components, and electro-optics. Experience in building optical microscopy systems/interferometers is desirable. Experience with data acquisition cards, LabView or Micromanager, instrumentation development, hardware control and signal acquisition will also be desirable.

There is a heavy emphasis on image processing for digital holographic microscopy in the project, which will require knowledge of signal processing and programming with C++ or Matlab; in particular the Post-doc will be required to develop algorithms for numerical propagation of holograms for image reconstruction, autofocussing, aberration compensation, phase unwrapping, and 3D rendering; experience in any of these processes will be beneficial. Any experience with handling/analysing biological samples would also be beneficial but is not essential. The role also includes supervising PhD students.
