Type: Postdoc
A postdoc position is available in the group of Assoc. Prof. Daniel Wüstner at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark, Odense. Invited are applications from outstanding postdoc candidates with a PhD degree in Biophysics, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or a closely related field and a keen interest in applying optical microscopy and quantitative imaging to understand the biophysical mechanisms underlying intracellular transport processes. The position is initially for two years and becomes available from March 2022 or shortly thereafter.
The Wüstner group integrates quantitative fluorescence microscopy and bioimage informatics with biophysics and cell biology to study transport processes in living cells. We are part of the Danish Molecular Biomedical Imaging Center (DaMBIC; https://www.dambic.dk/) and the Nikon Center of Excellence in Microscopy at the University of Southern Denmark, housing state-of-the art equipment for advanced bioimaging applications, including wide field, confocal and multiphoton microscopy, stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy, stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) and coherent antistokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. We are also very active in the field of bioimage analysis and have several workstations equipped with latest hardware for implementing deep learning and other machine learning approaches into image analysis pipelines.
As a postdoc in the Wüstner group, you will be engaged in a highly ambitious project aimed at determining lipid trafficking pathways across in-vitro models of the blood brain barrier and their regulation. Using quantitative live-cell imaging, multiphoton and super-resolution microscopy, a 3D map of lipid transport pathways across brain endothelial cells will be generated. Based on this data, the project aims for developing a detailed computational model of lipid trafficking across the blood-brain barrier, which allows for studying altered transport in neurodegenerative diseases.
Application deadline: 12 February 2022.
