TENURE TRACK ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN PHOTONICS FOR BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE

The EPFL Institute of Bioengineering

Lausanne, Switzerland

IBI sits at the interface between the Life Sciences and Life Technologies, and bridges two EPFL Schools: the School of Life Sciences (FSV) and the School of Engineering (STI).

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, photosensitizer molecules and particles, and light-sensitive proteins), as well as to novel optical imaging techniques and applications of light to system biology. Research activities will ideally foster collaborations between the FSV and the STI, as well as with the University hospitals in the Lake of 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. Capacity to initiate and coordinate transdisciplinary research, as well as to translate fundamental research to preclinical investigations will represent additional assets.
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.
