The Department of Optical Nanoscopy focuses its research on the Nobel Prize winning field of superresolution fluorescence microscopy and develops novel methods and devices to overcome Abbe’s diffraction barrier. With its optical resolution down to a few nanometers, optical nanoscopy provides fantastic possibilities to gain insight into structures and ongoing processes in living cells on the molecular scale which is one of the keys to the understanding of diseases.
To strengthen our team we are seeking cadidates for
a PhD position (m/f/d) in physics
and
a postdoctoral position (m/f/d)
