Limited until: permanent

Reference no.: 2293

The Ries lab is developing super-resolution microscopy methods for structural cell biology. In a WWTF-funded project we will develop a new deep learning-based approach to reconstruct a movie of a cellular process from tens of thousands of snapshots taken with high-throughput super-resolution microscopy and are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher with a background in machine learning.

Your personal sphere of play:

The overall aim of the project is to develop a computational approach to reconstruct the structure and dynamics of a cellular process at nanometer resolution from tens of thousands of images measured in fixed cells. We will develop this approach on the example of endocytosis, an essential process by which cells take up molecules, but this method will then be applicable to many other cellular processes. You will have abundant data readily available and work closely together with a biologist in the group who will capture new data on demand, and with a computational scientist from our partner lab, the Lab of Jakob Macke in Tübingen. This project will extend previous work based on maximum likelihood estimation (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41592-022-01676-z).

This position is limited to a 3 year contract with the possibility of extension.

We are looking for a talented, highly motivated postdoctoral scientist who is excited to develop computational approaches with wide applicability in the life sciences. You should hold a PhD degree in computer science or physics and should have a strong background in machine learning, preferably deep learning. Experience in computer vision or image analysis, especially microscopy images, is highly appreciated. Training and supervision will be provided throughout the project, but we also expect a high level of drive and independence. Excellent spoken and written English skills are required.

Your future tasks:

Active participation in research, teaching & administration, which means:

You are involved in research projects and scientific studies.

You publish internationally and give lectures.

You supervise your students.

You participate in evaluation measures and in quality assurance.

You take on administrative tasks in research, teaching and administration.

This is part of your personality:

You hold a PhD degree in in computer science or physics

You should have a strong background in machine learning, preferably deep learning

Experience in research management and in leading project staff

Excellent scientific track record

Excellent spoken and written English skills

Team player and high social/communicative skills

What we offer:

Work-life balance: Our employees enjoy flexible working hours, remote/hybrid and/or part-time work (upon agreement).

Inspiring working atmosphere: You are a part of an international academic team in a healthy and fair working environment.

Good public transport connections: Your workplace in the center of beautiful Vienna is easily accessible by public transport.

Internal further training & Coaching: Opportunity to deepen your skills on an ongoing basis. There are over 600 courses to choose from – free of charge.

Fair salary: The basic salary of EUR 4.752,30 14 times/year increases if we can credit professional experience.

Equal opportunities for everyone: We look forward to diverse personalities in the team!
