Teaching, research and practice - we connect

We are seeking a motivated and curious postdoctoral researcher or experienced research associate with a passion for quantitative data analysis in the fields of immunology, microscopy and biophysics. In this role, you will contribute to seminal work on the cellular and molecular characterization of receptor signaling heterogeneity of immune cells by applying biophysics to living cells. Building on our earlier findings that focal molography can be used to study immunological receptors on living cells, you will investigate immune cell activation. The project will combine focal molography, microscopy and immunological cell biology. This interdisciplinary position offers the rare opportunity to work closely with Lino Biotech, the developer of focal molography, and Miltenyi Biotec, in a collaboration supported by Innosuisse funding.

The position is fully funded for an initial period of 18 months, with the possibility of an extension.
