The Center for Intelligent Optics (CIO) develops advanced optical technologies, including imaging, spectroscopy, and laser ablation methods. Our goal is to bridge these cutting-edge laser technologies with clinical practice, developing solutions that enable accurate and real-time diagnosis and therapies.
Your assignments
In this collaborative project between the University of Basel, University of Bern, EPFL, and clinical partners,
the postdoctoral candidates will be responsible for developing an advanced swept-source optical coherence
tomography (OCT) system to explore novel research problems during the laser surgery. Developed
OCT will be used as a visualization tool for the optical processes induced by ultrashort laser pulses.

Experience in optical simulation skills (Preferably in Zemax)
-
Strong programming skills (preferably in Python)
-
Experience in deep learning algorithms is a plus
-
Ability to work in a highly international team and interdisciplinary project
-
applicants are expected to have excellent language skills in English
We offer you
-
Opportunity to work on a highly innovative project within a highly interdisciplinary environment
-
Fixed contract (up to 2.5 years, with a potential extension based on additional funding)
-
The salary is very competitive by international standards and will be according to the guidelines of the University of Basel. Five weeks of holidays per year, 42 working hours per week.
