Your position
In this project, the postdoctoral candidates will be responsible to develop an optical coherence tomography (OCT) integrated with a laser ablation system. OCT is responsible for providing real-time visual feedback of the ablation site and controlling the crater depth.Your profile
- PhD degree in Physics, optical engineering, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, or closely related fields
- Excellent skills in development of complex optical systems
- Experience in optical simulation skills (Preferably in Zemax)
- Strong programming skills (preferably in Python)
- Experience in deep learning algorithms is a plus
- Ability to work in a highly international team and interdisciplinary project
- applicants are expected to have excellent language skills in English
We offer you
- Opportunity to work on a highly innovative project within a highly interdisciplinary environment
- Fixed contract (up to 2.5 years, with a potential extension based on additional funding)
- The salary is very competitive by international standards and will be according to the guidelines of the University of Basel. Five weeks of holidays per year, 42 working hours per week.
