PhD Position in Physics (Georg August University Gottingen)

The Third Institute of Physics – Biophysics – at the Georg August University Göttingen is look-ing to fill a PhD position in physics (all genders welcome) on the topic: Coherent fluctuation imaging for studying cellular organization We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join a collaborative research project between the Georg August University Göttingen and Academia Sinica, Taipei. The project aims to develop a novel super-resolution microscopy technique that combines the benefits of fluorescence and label-free imaging. The successful candidate will work on integrating dynamic light scattering with image scanning microscopy to achieve high-resolution, high-contrast imaging of intracellular structures without traditional labeling constraints. Applicants should have a strong background in physics, optics, or biophysics and an interest in developing cuttingedge computational imaging algorithms. Ideally, the candidate has a background in programming with MATLAB, Mathematica and Python. Proficiency in English is required. You will benefit from an international research environment and state-of-the-art infrastructure in both Germany and Taiwan. The Göttingen group offers a highly interdisciplinary and international research environment—an excellent setting for developing a career in biophysics at the interface of nanoscience and cellular biology. The position is offered for 3 years (start: April 1st, 2026). The work time is a part-time posi-tion (75 % full position, 29.85 hours per week), and salary will be paid according to the German tariff TV-L E13.
