Vacancy: University of Glasgow – PDRA Computational Microscopy

About the role

Postdoctoral Research Assistant to develop the next generation of light-sheet microscopes for biomedical imaging, working on design, implementation and application to overcome the imaging depth limit in biological microscopy.

Responsibilities

• Participate in all steps of the process from design through implementation and application.
• Work to overcome the imaging depth limit caused by inhomogeneities in biological samples that affect light paths.
• Implement new microscope systems that fuse computational imaging and adaptive optics.
• Further develop existing systems across modalities including light‑sheet microscopy, structured illumination, phase contrast, and confocal microscopy.
• Conduct testing and application to developmental biology in collaboration with the School of Life Sciences.

Benefits

• Eligibility to apply for a Global Talent visa (funded as part of the Renewal of a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship).

Schedule

Position available immediately for a 2‑year term, with potential for extension.
