PhD Position in Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Nanoscale Imaging (f/m/x)

The Department of Prof. Dr. Stefan W. Hell invites applications for a PhD position exploring AI approaches in optical science, molecular imaging and biophysics. Opportunities are available in 骋枚迟迟颈苍驳别苍 or Heidelberg for highly motivated candidates to join a world-leading, multidisciplinary research group. The candidate can apply for admission to the Max Planck School of Photonics or the 骋枚迟迟颈苍驳别苍 Graduate Center for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB).

The PhD student will work on novel AI-aided data analytics, especially of dynamic single-molecule datasets from MINFLUX and MINSTED experiments to study biomolecules with optics. MINFLUX and MINSTED have unlocked the door to unique minimally invasive, low-light-level analysis of the structure and dynamics of macromolecules at the nanometer scale. This includes experiments at 1鈥憂m resolution and with Angstr枚m measurement precision.

Your Qualifications
