Positions
This is a new experimental group, combining a mixture of quantum optics, cryogenics, programming, microwave engineering and scanning probe microscopy into a unique and fascinating laboratory apparatus.
We currently have two combined scanning probe/confocal microscopes, one operating at room temperature and the other at a temperature of 4.2 Kelvin, and another room temperature confocal setup.
We are looking for people with a burning desire to construct and experiment, wishing to practice and hone their skills and with eagerness to constantly test the limits of sensing.
Below you can find the available positions in the group. Even if you do not see a relevant post, I encourage you to contact me for further inquiries.
Postdoc
Duration: 4 y
Postdoctoral research associate for quantum-enhanced MRI
Following the award of long-term support from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the Frydman and Finkler groups are embarking on an extraordinary journey: Bridging low-field MRI with Quantum Sensing. The project includes additional collaborators and exchanges with Europe and South America, and for its realization we are on the hire for two passionate and exceptional post-doctoral research associates to work together in:
Combining low-field MRI with optical hyperpolarization;
Development new forms of MRI contrasts that can be remotely activated –e.g., by optical means;
Applications of the above in biomedical research: microstructure, cancer, neurodegeneration.
The postdoctoral fellowships will be fully funded (all fees and a stipend for 4 years, renewable by mutual agreement on an annual basis) and open to candidates from anywhere in the world.
