Research Assistant
PhD 3J / PostDoc 2J


At the Laboratory of Lightwave Metrology you will join a dynamic, multi-disciplinary team, developing MIR-FRS technology toward the fundamental sensitivity and specificity limits, and seeking to extend this technology toward super-resolution, spatially-resolved, chemically-specific characterization of living cells and tissue.

While deeply rooted in basic photonics research, these novel techniques promise to address unmet medical diagnostic needs, in particular in severe infections and sepsis and in the sensitive detection of circulating tumor cells.


The positions are funded by the recently awarded ERC Consolidator Grant "LIVE - Laser-Based Infrared Vibrational Electric-Field Fingerprinting" and the research will be carried out at our RPTU laboratories.

Besides close synergies within the Laboratory of Lightwave Metrology, the frame of LIVE provides close collaborations with the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine as well as the Institute for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Diagnostics, both at the Jena University Hospital.
