THE ROLE

You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary environment, where junior and senior scientists collaborate, each with their expertise, to carry out a scientific activity with a shared research goal.

The Optical Investigation of Dynamical Systems research unit was established in 2026 by Eli Slenders, following the award of an ERC starting grant. The research focuses on the development of optical microscopy systems for measuring molecular diffusion and biomechanical properties in biological systems. This includes designing custom-built optical microscopes, developing control software, and building data analysis pipelines to extract quantitative information from dynamic samples.

Within the research team, your main responsibilities will be:
- Design and implementation of a custom confocal la
