My lab at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte will soon open a postdoctoral position in optical instrumentation for the life sciences . The project is centered on building and translating imaging technology into a real instrument, with emphasis on quantitative phase imaging , holography , computational imaging , and related bioimaging approaches. The ideal candidate is a builder who has designed and constructed imaging systems, worked with biological samples, and enjoys turning prototypes into working tools. This is a strong fit for researchers with backgrounds in physics , biomedical engineering , biology , or electrical engineering who want to work at the intersection of optics, instrumentation, and life-science applications. Startup experience is not required, but curiosity and a record of finishing what you build are highlighted as important qualities. The post says a formal announcement will follow in the next few weeks, but letters of interest and CVs are welcome now . Interested applicants should email [email protected] and briefly describe what they have built. Keywords: optical instrumentation, life sciences, imaging systems, quantitative phase imaging, holography, computational imaging, bioimaging, instrumentation, startup translation.
