The Opportunity

The Royer Group, a lab led by Loic Royer at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, is a multidisciplinary team of computer scientists, optical engineers, and biologists, fascinated by a simple but incredibly complex question: How do organisms develop from a single cell into a fully functional body with billions of self-organizing cells that form tissues and have different functions? Solving this question will require expertise across Computer Science, Microscopy, and Biology. We aim to build a Time-Resolved Multi-Dimensional and Multi-Modal Atlas of Vertebrate Development using Zebrafish as a model organism. To attain this goal, we design and build novel state-of-the-art light-sheet microscopes, as well as conceive deep-learning-based image processing and analysis algorithms. The team has recently pushed the limits of light-sheet microscopy by designing a high-resolution, large field of view and fast single objective light-sheet microscope.

You will

• Conceptualize novel light-sheet microscopy to help advance our understanding of embryo development
• Simulate and design optical systems to achieve the desired performance
• Assemble and construct optical microscopes using off-the-shelf and custom-designed optical/mechanical components
• Experience designing high-speed closed-loop optical scanning, phase modulation, or adaptive optics.
• Troubleshoot and optimize the performance of existing microscopes in the lab
• Collaborate with engineers and biologists to improve and optimize microscopes for high-throughput, long-term imaging of biological samples
• Collaborate with computer scientists and application engineers to improve the data acquisition/processing workflow
• Publish high-impact papers and disseminate your work within the CZ Biohub Network and across the global scientific community

You have

Essential –

• PhD in Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, and/or related field. Exceptional candidates with a master’s degree will be considered.
