Positions within the First Team Project of the Foundation for Polish Science:
1 PhD student – scholarship in Quantum Imaging Lab, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw
We are looking for 1 PhD students to work in a project “Spatiotemporal light shaping and photon counting cameras for microscopy” carried out within the FIRST TEAM FENG programme of the Foundation for Polish Science
The aim of the project is to develop new imaging techniques, which will take confocal and two-photon microscopes (the most widely used 3D imaging techniques) as a starting point. We plan to modify these techniques by enriching them with an array of single photon detectors (SPAD array) and spatiotemporal beam shaping. The methods we plan to develop will enable a synergistic combination of the advantages of both SPAD array and spatiotemporal beam shaping, which may lead to a breakthrough in bioimaging.
Key responsibilities include:
- development and optimization of experimental setups
- data analysis and computational modelling
- conducting experiments in the field of: spatial-temporal shaping of light for fluorescence microscopy
- use of SPAD array for fluorescence microscopy
- use of femtosecond lasers in microscopy and micromachining
- writing scientific reports and publications.
The planned employment period is until the end of the project 31.08.2028
Application Deadline: 10.09.2025, 23:59 – Brussels (GMT+01:00)
PhD student postion – FIRST TEAM FENG
1 student position: Quantum-enhanced microscopy
We announce a competition for student stipends within the project “Spatiotemporal light shaping and photon counting cameras for microscopy.” The project is carried out within the FIRST TEAM FENG programme of the Foundation for Polish Science.
The scholarship holder will conduct experimental research on wavefront shaping of light and the propagation of light in scattering media. The tasks of the scholarship holders will include:
- simulation of experimental results,
- construction of experimental setups,
- collection and analysis of experimental data.
