  • You are highly experienced in bioimaging.
  • You are highly experienced in one or more of the following techniques, live cell imaging, multiphoton excitation microscopy, FLIM, STED, SIM, CARS and/or SRS.
  • You have experience with image analysis.
  • Proficient communication skills and ability to work in teams.
  • Excellent English skills, both written and spoken.

Desirable experience and skills:

  • You have an active interest in application and development of advanced optical microscopy for biological samples.
  • You have experience in working with optics and building microscopes.
  • Experience/knowledge in cell culture protocols.
  • Experience/knowledge in bioprinting or tissue engineering.
  • You have experienced in microfluidic device applications.
  • Experience/knowledge in bioprinting or tissue engineering.
