Scientist (m/f/d) with a background in mathematics, physics or computer science

The electron microscopy group at the Buchmann Institute for Molecular Life Sciences is seeking an enthusiastic, highly motivated 

Scientist (m/f/d)
with a background in mathematics, physics or computer science (also Medizininformatik or Bioinformatik)
(E13 TV-G-U, up to 100 %),

starting March 1^st, 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter for a limited period of 3 years, the possibility of a PhD is given. The salary grade is based on the job characteristics of the collective agreement applicable to Goethe University (TV-G-U).

The goal of the project is to implement fast and efficient reconstruction algorithms of 3D medical objects from individual images. We have unique imaging capabilities to visualize the details of the interior of cell that help to elucidate the origin and cause of cancer and other diseases. Previous experience with GPU programming in CUDA is a prerequisite. Knowledge in C, C++ and MATLAB programming experience is a big advantage. 

Our offer to you

• An excellent infrastructure to develop and implement algorithms in the field of Biomedical Engineering. 
• You will analyze image data, model and train Machine Learning algorithms and support research in the development of software for Electron Microscopy.
• You will contribute to cutting-edge research projects and take care of planning, execution and documentation of development-related tests and experiments.
• You would join a team of passionate individuals with long experience in the field.

What we are looking for

• You have a Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Medical Technology or a comparable course?
• You have scientific experience with image and data analysis and the development of programs in the field of Machine Learning? You may have even worked with image registration algorithms?
• Are you an expert in CUDA and C/C++?
• And familliar with other programming languages (e.g. Python, MATLAB)?
• Are you eager to work independently on challenging tasks in the field of Scientistmicroscopy?

With over 48,000 students and around 5,000 employees, the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt am Main is one of the largest universities in Germany.
