The Laboratory of Biomedical Optics conducts research on development of new, unique non-invasive methods for cerebral oxygenation measurements with the use of a near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), in particular a time-resolved diffuse reflectance measurement technique. The time-resolved optical method, based on measurements of the distribution of time of flight of photons, enables the estimation of the hemoglobin concentration with discrimination to an extra- and intracerebral layers of the head. A candidate will be involved in development of high-density, time resolved measurement system to  improve spatial resolution of the NIRS measurements. Furthermore, the system will be applied in cortex stimulation studies as well as clinical studies in stroke or traumatic brain injury patients.

The candidate will be dealing with hardware development, algorithms for tomographic reconstruction as well as clinical measurements and data analysis.

The candidate for an Assistant position should meet the following requirements:

1.  Education:
   Master of Science in biomedical engineering, physics, or other exact science.

1. Scientific / professional achievements:
   Significant research achievements in the field of biomedical engineering confirmed by a minimum of one publication.

1. Experience:
   
   
2. Good laboratory skills: measurement systems based on the technique of near infrared spectroscopy (laser light sources, photodetectors, etc.), extensive knowledge in the field of optoelectronics. Good understanding of optical/photonic principles.
3. Experience in designing, implementing and operating NIRS systems and measurement solutions.
4. Data analysis and related scientific programming skills (C++, MatLab, LabView etc.).

1. Additional requirements:
2. Fluent English enabling writing publications and communication with foreign partners.
3. Innovativeness, independence and good self-organization.
   
   

Candidates are asked to submit the following documents:

1. CV, cover letter, copies of diplomas and other documents confirming your qualifications.
