Are you fascinated by science and its rapid progress? Are you intrigued by ever-improving microscopes and the images they provide? Are you passionate about interdisciplinary research? Do you want to contribute your skills and know-how to push the boundaries of scientific knowledge? Are you a team player who loves to discuss science and to develop new technologies in the laboratory? Then you should consider becoming a member of the Quantum Optics and Microscopy team.

Your personal sphere of influence:

As a university assistant (praedoc) on this 4-year position, you will be part of the Quantum Optics and Microscopy team around Professor Thomas Juffmann. You will be working on advanced imaging experiments with applications in the biosciences that push the limits of the state-of-the-art in terms of imaging resolution and speed.

Our team is part of the Quantum Physics group of the Faculty of Physics. We are a member of the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology (VCQ), one of the largest quantum hubs in Europe, and of the Austrian Cluster of Excellence (quantA), advancing basic research in quantum sciences. We are also affiliated with, and located at, the Max Perutz Labs, dedicated to a mechanistic understanding of fundamental biomedical processes. You will become part of a thriving research environment that spans disciplines from physics to biology.

The Juffmann group unites an international team of scientists (Master, PhD, Postdoc) who love to develop the instruments of tomorrow. Together we have assembled a unique skill set and knowledge base in optics, electron optics, quantum sensing, microscopy, adaptive optics, information theory, biophysics, and more. Working with us means learning something new every day – all of us, from Bachelor's student to professor.

Your future tasks:

You actively participate in research, teaching & administration, which means:

• You are involved in a specific and well-funded research project, focused on novel measurement techniques based on electrons and light.

• You will present your research plan to the faculty and complete a dissertation agreement within 12-18 months. This will be reviewed and adapted on an annual basis.

• You will continuously stay informed about the state of the art in your field.

• You will contribute to outreach by publications, conference presentations and public activities.

This is part of your personality:

• You have completed your Master's degree or Diploma in physics. • You have worked with transmission electron microscopes. • You have an excellent command of written and spoken English. • You have worked with LEEM, PEEM, or ONEM microscopes. • Ideally, you have completed classes on quantum optics and quantum metrology. • Ideally, you have experience with both ray-tracing and wave optics simulations. • Ideally, you have worked in the field of quantum electron optics. • Ideally, you have experience in Python-based data analysis workflows.
