Your function
For this project, we are looking for three PhD students who will work on optical system development, novel catheter designs, data processing algorithms, and modeling of scattering and polarization properties of tissue, with the goal of bringing these technologies to patient care. The research will be conducted at the VU University in Amsterdam. The candidate will be part of the PhD program of the Biophotonics & Medical Imaging section under the Physics and Astronomy Department at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. J.F. de Boer, an internationally recognised leader in the field of Biophotonics ( profile
For this position, we are looking for an enthusiastic candidate with a master's or equivalent degree in (applied) physics or a related field, with a strong interest in biomedical optics. Candidates should be able to communicate in English both verbally and in writing and have a good knowledge of optics and excellent experimental skills (two projects), or have a good theoretical physics background and analytical skills with an interest in developing simulations to develop a new formalism to describe polarization properties if scattering media (1 project). The project’s results will be presented at national and international medical and technical conferences and in relevant journals. The successful candidate is expected to write a dissertation leading to a PhD degree towards the end of the 4-year project.
As a university, we strive for equal opportunities for all, recognizing that diversity takes many forms. We believe that diversity in all its complexity is invaluable for the quality of our teaching, research, and service. We are always looking for talent with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
