Faculty Position in Photonics for Biology and Medicine

Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)

Lausanne, Switzerland

The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) has an opening for a faculty position in photonics for biology and medicine.

The topics of interest cover the use of light for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes – from fundamental principles to development and application – and extend to the interaction of light with biological material at the molecular, membrane, cell and organ levels (including phototoxicity and photosensitizer molecules and particles), as well as to novel optical imaging techniques (including functional imaging for applications in life sciences). Research activities will ideally foster collaborations between the School of Life Sciences and the School of Engineering, as well as with the university hospitals in the Lake Geneva region.

We are seeking exceptional candidates with outstanding records of scientific accomplishments and a strong dedication to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Start-up resources and state-of-the-art research infrastructure will be available, within the framework of a campus that fosters very strong interactions between life sciences, engineering, basic sciences and informatics. Salaries and benefits are internationally competitive. Particularly experienced candidates could be recruited at the associate or full professor level.

Applications should be submitted via the web site “”http://biophotonics-search.epfl.ch":http://biophotonics-search.epfl.ch">http://biophotonics-search.epfl.ch":http://biophotonics-search.epfl.ch and should include the following documents in PDF format: curriculum vitae; publication list; brief statement of research and teaching interests; and the name, address and e-mail of at least five referees.
