Job details Print page

The International Center for Translational Eye Research (ICTER) is a multi-investigator center for eye research related to imaging and biochemical techniques to support advances in understanding the etiology and treatment of human blinding diseases. Further information on the research priorities and current expertise of our Center can be found at http://www.icter.pl.

ICTER is looking for candidates with a PhD degree experienced in physics (optics and photonics) and biomedical engineering. Candidates should be interested in translational research and developing new therapies to cure blindness or other diseases. The postdoctoral researcher will have a direct impact on lab development and its success in publishing in high-impact factor journals. The person will also be responsible for performing dynamic research to create a competitive research group. The position will be assigned to the Optical Imaging Group led by Prof. Maciej Wojtkowski, focused on developing new imaging techniques aiming at achieving speckle-less imaging based on full-field swept-source optical coherence tomography for diagnosis, screening and monitoring of blinding eye diseases.

The job holder's responsibilities will be related to two-photon vision and two-photon imaging projects and will include, but not be limited to:

1. conducting psychophysical and imaging experiments on humans,
2. optimising measurement systems,
3. writing or extending acquisition software,
4. performing measurements,
5. data analysis,
6. writing publications and reports,
7. active participation in conferences.

1. Part-time or full-time employment contract
2. Opportunity to work in an innovative scientific environment
3. International cooperation with experienced researchers
4. Competitive salary
5. Access to well-staffed core facilities

1. PhD diploma in physics, photonics, engineering or a similar field at the moment of starting work within the Project, obtained not earlier than 1 January 2018
2. Experience in biophotonics
3. Experience in experimental work in the field of optics and psychophysics
4. Familiarity with LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python or C++
5. Excellent communication and organisational skills
6. Analytical and critical problem-solving skills mindset
7. Proficiency in English, both spoken and written
