德国法兰克福歌德大学计算机科学、物理学或数学博士后职位

The cryo-electron tomography group of Prof. Frangakis at the Buchmann Institute for Molecular Life Sciences within the Cluster of Excellence is seeking an enthusiastic, highly motivated individual with a degree in computational sciences, mathematics, physics or related fields to occupy a PhD or a PostDoc position.
The PhD / Post-Doc positions are funded by the European Research Council. The aim of the project is to develop novel image processing tools in order to perform three-dimensional reconstructions, pattern recognition and image classification tasks on cryo-electron tomograms.
The group is interdisciplinary composed of biologists, physicists, and computational scientists who use cryo-electron tomography to generate tomograms, which visualize cells at molecular resolution. The tomograms are complex three-dimensional images, where the information has to be extracted by computational means. The laboratory has a long history of algorithmic development for electron tomography, which includes denoising, segmentation and pattern recognition algorithms such as those used in medical image processing. The group has access to a high performance computing cluster with app. 5000 CPU nodes and 1000 GPU nodes, as well as specialized 3D graphic workstations. Experimental data are recorded on a high-end FEI Titan Krios electron microscope.
The successful applicant should be interested in the development and implementation of image processing and visualization algorithms for three-dimensional biological data sets. Programming experience in MATLAB and/or C/C++ is necessary. Experts in statistics and harmonic analysis are particularly encouraged to apply. Previous experience in biology or medicine is not necessary, however certain interest in imaging and the willingness to get acquainted with particular biological systems is advantageous.
