At Helmholtz Munich, we develop groundbreaking solutions for a healthier
society in a rapidly changing world. We believe that diverse perspectives drive
innovation. Through strong partnerships, we accelerate the transfer of new
ideas from the lab to real-life applications, improving lives.

The Institute of Biological and Medical Imaging (IBMI)at Helmholtz Munich and
the Chair of Biological Imaging (CBI) at the Technical University of Munich
(TUM) are an integrated, multi-disciplinary research unit, which provide
bioengineering solutions to urgent societal needs. IBMI scientists develop
next-generation imaging and sensing methods to measure previously inaccessible
properties of living systems, hence, catalyzing breakthroughs in biology,
medicine, and the environment.

Comprising 13 inter-disciplinary laboratories and scientists from more than
25 countries, IBMI offers state-of-the-art infrastructure for innovative
research and an ideal environment to accelerate your career.

We are now seeking a highly qualified and motivated postdoctoral fellow
(f/m/x) to drive the development of novel optical technologies addressing
significant biological and medical challenges.

We are looking forward to receiving your comprehensive online application,
including your letter of motivation, CV, contact details of at least three
referees, and academic transcripts of records, preferably in English.

Your tasks

The successful candidate will play a key role in an ambitious research
program focused on developing next‑generation multimodal imaging systems
spanning the mesoscopic to microscopic scale. As part of a major research
project and supported by extensive national and international collaborations,
this effort seeks to shift the landscape of biological and medical imaging
through pioneering, miniaturized, multimodal technologies. The candidate will
have the opportunity to shape a rapidly evolving field by contributing to both
technological innovation and high‑impact biological and medical applications.

Key Responsibilities & Goals:

- Develop a next‑generation system for quantitative, real-time multimodal
mesoscopic and microscopic imaging.
- Contribute to real-time software development for system control, data
acquisition, multimodal image reconstruction, and quantitative analysis
workflows.
- Collaborate within a European research consortium and engage with
international and national partners across multiple institutions.
- Drive innovation in the design and development of miniaturized imaging
technologies.

Your profile

- Ph.D. in natural sciences, electrical engineering, physics, optics, medical
technology, biomedical computing, or a related discipline.
- Excellent track record of academic achievements.
- Demonstrated writing skills.
- Strong motivation, scientific curiosity, and commitment to scientific
excellence.
- Hands on experience with optics, fiber optics, sensors, miniaturized
systems design and development.
- Programming skills in C++ and MATLAB; additional relevant programming
skills are an advantage.
- Strong teamwork skills and enthusiasm to work in a multi-disciplinary,
collaborative environment.
- Excellent command of the English language.

If you fulfill all the requirements, you may be eligible for a salary grade
of up to E 13. Social benefits are based on the Collective Wage Agreement for
Public-Sector Employees (TVöD). The position has an (initial) fixed term of 2
years but may be extended under certain circumstances.

Managing Director Mike Frieser:

„We believe that diversity is the key to groundbreaking research and
innovative solutions. Our flexible working models and remote options create a
supportive environment for balancing work and family life. For us, contributing
to a healthier society in such an inspiring workplace is truly meaningful.“
