In collaboration with our team and collaborators, the PhD student will develop and implement in situ imaging techniques to access the efficacy of vaccines in patient-derived 3D in vitro models of lymphoid tissue. The goal will be to study cellular dynamics and metabolism in order to design a novel readout platform.
Major tasks include:
- Establish pipelines for live imaging in a microfluidic platform by Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM)
- Benchmarking of metabolic markers for immune response
- Design and prototyping of a benchtop FLIM unit Develop correlative image/data analysis workflows for multiparametric imaging and real-time readouts
- We are looking broadly across disciplines for a candidate with technical expertise and experience in live cell microscopy, bioimaging amd image analysis
- Applicants should hold a master’s degree in life science (Physics, chemistry, biology, biomedicine or (bio)engineering
- In particular, we require that candidates have prior experience with microscopy of biological samples
- Knowledge and hands on experience in optic design, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, microfluidics or 3D cell culture are considered great advantages
- Willingness to engage in interdisciplinary research activities (life science and engineering)
- Excellent comman of spoken and written English is required
Benefits
- Highly motivated, competent and multidisciplinary team with scientific and technical staff members
- An exciting, varied and innovative working environment
- Excellent technical equipment
The Faculty of Medicine is one of the four founding faculties of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen.
