A postdoctoral position available
Preferably a physicist, but can be from a related field (such as physical chemistry). Preference will be given to candidates with experience in optics, particularly non-linear optics. A successful candidate will be designing and implementing optical microscopy experiments for various biological applications using non-linear optical phenomena such as two photon fluorescence, second harmonic generation and others. The experiments will be carried out on a unique, highly customizable laser scanning microscope equipped with a variety of light sources. Depending on the candidate, a high degree of scientific guidance or high amount of freedom will be provided.

A successful applicant will be working in a dynamic, friendly, highly international team that is being established by a young investigator with long term experience (6 years), and close collaboration with a prestigious US university (Columbia University). Travel to the US will be expected. Salaries will be supplemented from an EU grant. Results of high scientific and/or commercial value are likely. Both living and work can be arranged either in a small, beautiful historical town (Nove Hrady) or a in a bigger city (Ceske Budejovice). Some travel between the two will be necessary. Both Czech and international applications are welcome. To apply, please send an email to lazar@usbe.cas.cz. Last day to apply is May 31, 2008.
