Postdoctoral Researcher in Spectroscopy and Imaging | Postdoctoral Researcher in Spectroscopy and Imaging (f/m/d)

Job Summary

This Postdoctoral Researcher role at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) in Jena focuses on developing cutting-edge electric-field-resolved spectroscopy (FRS) technology for biomedical applications, specifically high-throughput classification of biological systems. The successful candidate will join a dynamic, multi-disciplinary team to advance ultracompact FRS instrumentation, particularly by developing broadband, waveform-stable mid-infrared (MIR) sources and optimizing electric-field sampling techniques. A key part of the role involves deploying this novel FRS system, based on compact fiber lasers, in a clinical setting, specifically the intensive care unit of the Jena University Hospital. The researcher will coordinate and actively participate in clinical studies focused on vibrational spectroscopy of exhaled breath for real-time diagnostics of critically ill patients. This position is ideal for someone with a completed doctorate in experimental laser physics and strong experience in nonlinear optics and vibrational spectroscopy, offering access to world-class equipment and interdisciplinary collaboration within the prestigious Leibniz association.
