Odense, Odense Kommune, Denmark Syddansk Universitet Full time

A PhD position is available in the group of Prof. Daniel Wüstner at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark, Odense. Invited are applications from outstanding candidates with a master's degree in Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Molecular Biology, or closely related fields. Experience in fluorescence microscopy, cell culture and molecular biology, membrane probes and/or lipid biochemistry is an advantage. The proposed starting data is 1. of August or soon thereafter.

The Wüstner group integrates quantitative fluorescence microscopy and bioimage informatics with biophysics and cell biology to study transport processes in living cells. We are part of the Danish Molecular Biomedical Imaging Center (DaMBIC; ) and the Nikon Center of Excellence in Microscopy at the University of Southern Denmark, housing state-of-the art equipment for advanced bioimaging applications, such as wide field, confocal and multiphoton microscopy, stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy, Raman and MinFlux microscopy.

As a PhD student in the Wüstner group, you will be engaged in an ambitious project aimed at determining lipid trafficking and signaling mechanisms in eukaryotic cells in relation to human diseases. You will use a combination of automated live-cell imaging, super-resolution microscopy, soft X-ray tomography and single molecule tracking to study such processes.

The ideal candidate would have a documented background and experience in one or several of the following topics:

Cell culture and experimentation with neuronal cells
Live-cell imaging in particular of calcium dynamics in cells
Single molecule imaging
Working with fluorescent probes and model membranes
Image processing and data analysis

Application deadline: 11 June 2024 at 23:59 hours local Danish time.
