The Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia - IIT is opening a Researcher position in Nanophysics Department within the laser micromachining activity.

The Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia – IIT – was established in 2005 and successfully created the large scale infrastructure in Genova, a network of 10 state of the art laboratories countrywide, recruited an international staff of about 1000 people from more than 30 countries. IIT's research endeavour focuses on high-tech and innovation, representing the forefront of technology with possible application from medicine to industry, computer science, robotics, life sciences and nanobiotechnologies.

Eligible candidates should be experienced researchers with a Ph.D. in experimental/applied Physics and specific expertise in the above-mentioned research lines. Capability in R&D towards technology transfer, background in nano-biotechnology and biophysics as well as international collaboration experiences are positively evaluated.

A post-doc position is available on a research program in the context of biomedical imaging at Q*, a joint research centre in Florence created by the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ), the Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), the European Laboratory for Nonlinear Spectroscopy (LENS) and the University of Florence.

In particular, we intend to develop detection and imaging techniques devoted to perform lifetime and vibrational spectroscopy on molecular states both in living cells and living organisms.

The aim is to characterize cellular states under specific physiological conditions and pathologies, such as cancer, infections, etc. New microscopy techniques will be designed and developed in order to correlate chemical content analysis with sub cellular compartment activity. Accordingly, novel sample preparation protocols will be introduced towards artifacts minimization. Moreover, new biomedical detection devices (such as optical miniaturized endoscopes) will be designed, developed and characterized in order to perform early diagnosis of a variety of pathologies, including cancer, on patients in different fields of medicine.

The successful candidate should meet the following requirements:
