Postdoctoral researcher in label-free imaging based on broadband Coherent Raman micro-spectroscopy

A postdoctoral researcher position is currently available in the Vibrational Imaging group, headed by Prof. Carlo Liberale, in the Biological and Environmental Science & Engineering Division at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST, Saudi Arabia).
The Liberale group is a multidisciplinary team of physicists, engineers and biologists committed to the development and application of new-generation label-free microscopy methods for biomedical research. The laboratory is equipped with cutting edge instruments and technology in the field of vibrational micro-spectroscopy. Additionally, KAUST offers exceptional infrastructure for scientific research and is equipped with state of the art core facilities for imaging, characterization and micro-\nano-fabrication.
An innovative high-speed broadband Stimulated Raman Scattering system will be designed and set up in our laboratory, in the framework of a recently awarded grant, in collaboration with Prof. Giulio Cerullo and Prof. Dario Polli (Politecnico di Milano).
We are looking for ambitious and self-motivated candidates to work on the set up and application of the Stimulated Raman Scattering system, in a collaborative and interdisciplinary project involving radiation-matter interaction, nonlinear optics, ultrashort laser pulses, detectors, electronic instrumentation and finally investigating lipid dysregulation in cancer.

A Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Optics/Optical Engineering, Physics or a related field is required. Proficiency using Matlab and Labview is preferred. The candidate must have hands-on experience with optical setups and ultrashort pulse laser sources. Experience in Multivariate Analysis of spectroscopic data will be considered a plus.
Highly competitive PostDoc salary is provided. Benefits: free housing; relocation support; life insurance; subsidized medical and dental insurance; one round-trip airline ticket per year to visit home country.
Applications should include: a CV; a cover letter that summarizes the research experience and areas of interests of the applicant; contact information of at least 2 professional references.
The postdoctoral position will be open until filled.
