Research Fellow in Computational Methods for Image Analysis in Biophotonics – AR2386DD
Applications are
invited for a Research Fellow to work on an EPSRC-funded project. The work is based within the Optical
Manipulation Group in the School of Physics and Astronomy (https://opticalmanipulationgroup.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk).
The group aims to build upon a range of internationally recognized work in the
area of photonics and its applications at St Andrews. The specific topic area
of this post is advanced computational methods for quantitative image analysis
in biophotonics.
We are particularly
interested in researchers with prior experience in one or more of the
development and application of numerical methods of deep learning or
multivariate analysis and computational imaging; multiphoton imaging; light sheet
imaging. The post is for up to 24 months, subject to satisfactory completion of
a 15-month probationary period.
The post-holder will
be required to undertake predominantly numerical studies with scope to also undertake
associated experimental work. They will play a leading role in implementing new
optical imaging analysis techniques and procedures, particularly with images of
biological samples recorded in our light sheet, structured illumination and
temporal-focusing multiphoton microscopes. The work will address global challenges
in antimicrobial resistance, neurodegenerative disease, and multimodal
functional imaging.
