Job Description:
The Laboratory of Attosecond Physics (LAP), based at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics and the Chair of Experimental Physics at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, is one of the world’s leading research institutions in the area of Laser Science.
The researchers at LAP have developed lasers that are capable of emitting trains of ultrashort light pulses, which enable physicists to observe the motions of electrons in real time with unprecedented precision (www.attoworld.de). The dynamic behaviour of electrons plays a central role in all chemical and biological activities, including the processes that underlie disease states. LAP’s ultrashort-pulse lasers are also at the heart of the work being carried out at the Munich-Centre for Advanced Photonics (MAP). As a DFG-funded Cluster of Excellence, MAP brings together more than 100 scientists drawn from diverse disciplines and research establishments in the Munich area. Now the LAP-MAP Alliance, a unique collaborative venture involving laser specialists, medical physicists, bioinformaticians and clinicians, is building up a new Centre for Advanced Laser Applications (CALA), which is devoted to the use of state-of-the-art laser-based technologies for the early diagnosis and treatment of tumours. The goal of the latest LAP/CALA project is to probe the efficacy of analyses of blood samples and human breath by means of infrared laser spectroscopy as a practicable approach to the early diagnosis of cancers, and the assessment of their response to therapy.
We seek to appoint, at the earliest possible date, an individual with a graduate degree in
Natural or Medical Sciences
as a Personal Assistant/Advisor to the Director/Coordinator of LAP, MAP and CALA, to assist him in coordinating and supervising this multidisciplinary project.
Reporting to the Director/Coordinator of LAP, MAP and CALA, your primary task will be to coordinate the international cooperation of the participating research teams in the areas of Physics, Medicine, Bioinformatics, Cell and Molecular Biology, and to organize discussions and workshops. You will be expected to contribute your own specialized knowledge (in an advisory capacity) to ongoing activities, to keep yourself fully informed of progress in the field (both within and outside the cooperation), and to keep the Director up-to-date with developments. You will also advise him on all relevant (bio-)medical issues, provide support in matters of project planning, research and evaluate all information relevant to pending strategic decisions, and draft proposals for the decision-making progress. Excellent communication skills in English or German are a prerequisite for the position.
If you seek an exciting and multifaceted challenge at the interface between Physics, Medicine, Cell/Molecular Biology and Informatics, would enjoy working in an international and interdisciplinary context at the forefront of current research, take a structured approach to your work, count team spirit and creativity among your strengths, have a keen interest in staying abreast with expanding knowledge, have a high level of dedication and commitment, and possess a university-level (preferably a doctoral) degree in Natural Sciences or Medicine focusing on Cell or Molecular Biology, Physiological Chemistry or Medical Physics, as well as specialist knowledge in Oncology and Chemotherapeutics, we look forward to receiving your application.
This role is based in the Research Center in Garching, which is easily accessible by public transport. The post involves a range of stimulating and responsible tasks, and we offer professional development programmes and long-term career perspectives. The remuneration for this position conforms to the stipulations set out in the Tarifvertrag der Länder (TV-L) and includes the standard benefits for public-service employees. The post is offered on a 3-year contract in the first instance, and may be extended or converted into a permanent position, depending on the post-holder’s level of performance.
Applications from female candidates are particularly encouraged. Disabled candidates with essentially equivalent qualifications will receive preferential consideration.
Please send your application with the usual supporting documents to Thorsten Naeser, Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Hans-Kopfermann-Str 1, 85748 Garching. (E mail: thorsten.naeser@mpq.mpg.de). Closing date for receipt of applications is November 15th, 2014.
Also available at the LAP is a
Position for a Postdoc Researcher
in developing mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopic techniques for biomedical applications The research program aims to realize noninvasive optical analysis of human breath, blood, or tissue for early cancer detection in the framework of the above project.
Features of the role include:
the development of a state-of-the-art high-resolution MIR spectrometer, and;
subsequent recording of the MIR absorption spectrum of biological samples
The ideal candidate:
should be a highly motivated researcher
would hold experience in femtosecond laser technology and/or MIR spectroscopy
will be able to collaborate with teams from other disciplines within/outside of Germany.
Please submit your application by 15th November 2014 to:
