POSTDOC ⏩ See opportunities below.
PhD GRADUATE STUDENTS ⏩ Please get in touch with Prof Leung & apply by September 1 for Spring admission and by December 15 for Fall admission
We enthusiastically welcome people who share similar research interests to join our efforts in shaping the future of bio-photonics. Join us now if you share our bold vision and drive in expanding the frontiers of biomedical imaging technologies.
Postdoc applicants interested in space-time light structuring and developing novel functional imaging techniques can apply directly through this link ➡️ https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/30334. 👍 Minimum of 2 years of experience in lab building advance optical imaging systems will be an advantage.
Postdoc applicants interested in developing optical metasurfaces for biomedical applications can apply directly through this link ➡️ https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/30219. 👍 Minimum of 2 years of experience in designing metasurface and/or cleanroom fabrication will be an advantage.
Additional details: Living systems are constantly changing and adapting to the environmental cues. We seek to understand the underlying mechanisms governing the dynamic and heterogeneous behavior of living systems at the cellular level. We have multiple imaging+sensing projects to develop advance optical microscopy and metasurfaces to extract functional information about living systems in a label-free spatially-resolved manner.
Required qualifications:
Ph.D. in a relevant field | e.g., Physics, Optics, Photonics, Engineering.
Ph.D. candidates about to graduate are welcome to apply.
Exhibits excellent professionalism+work ethics, independence, initiative and self-motivation.
Strong ability to problem-solve and think critically.
Possesses good written and oral communication skills.
Ability to thrive in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, fast-paced working environment.
Experiences and/or knowledge in one or more of the following will be an advantage:
Optical wave propagation simulations (e.g., FDTD) for meta-optics or metasurface designs
Machine learning and inverse design methodologies
Either experimental or design experience in biosensing and/or nanophotonics
Proficiency in wavefront sensing or imaging with sculpted/structured light
Strong hands-on experience building and characterizing optical systems using tools such as beam profiler, ultrafast pulsed lasers, ultrafast pulse characterization tools, lab-built spectrometers etc
What we offer: Our group is committed to providing a collaborative, supportive, and motivating academic environment with abundant training opportunities for professional growth and room to exercise creativity and innovation in their research work.
Our group is forging new frontiers in optical metrology and imaging through synergistic work performed by different teams in the lab. Our research projects combine and elevates state-of-the-art technologies that include but not limited to optics, microscopy imaging, systems engineering, and biophotonics. Therefore, our lab is conducive for all members of the group to expand their knowledge and skillsets through active collaborations and teamwork. Your successful career development is important to us and we will invest in the development of your leadership skills, mentorship skills, and scientific writing/presentation (e.g., publications and training grants) skills.
The initial appointment for this position will be for 12 months with option to extend based on performance and mutual interests. We offer competitive salary commensurate with experience.
