Medical University of Vienna, Department of Pathology
Vienna, Austria
Full-time technician
Announcement date: 27 May 2025Description
The Medical University of Vienna is seeking candidates for the position of a full-time technician at the Department of Pathology, ideally starting June 16, 2025 (fixed-term until June 30, 2026 with the option of extension).
MedUni Vienna's Department of Pathology provides state-of-the-art diagnostics and forms an extremely reliable and indicative basis for clinical treatment, especially in the case of rapidly developing personalized medicine. The Department's scientific activities focus primarily on understanding the causes of diseases.
Experienced specialists from all fields of clinical medicine work at the Department of Pathology. The scientific performance of the Department can be seen on the international stage, making it one of the most renowned pathology departments in Europe. And last but not least, through its now somewhat forgotten function of performing post-mortem examinations, the Department of Pathology makes a key contribution to Quality Assurance in all areas of clinical medicine.
Please send us your complete application documents, consisting of CV, covering letter and, if applicable, references and certificates as proof of the desired qualifications.
Indicate the reference number: 330/25 in the subject line and send the documents by 11 June 2025.

Groningen University
Groningen, Netherlands
PhD Positions in STED Super-resolution microscopy
Announcement date: 27 May 2025Description
We have 2 experimental biophysics PhD positions available. The first position is part of a large, broad consortium: Evolve. In this project we will study cell division with STED microscopy in a range of organisms, including archaea, to reveal early cellular mechanisms. The second project is also part of a consortium. This PhD project we will study how disordered proteins ensure highly selective transport in nuclear pore complexes and peroxisomes, using STED Super resolution microscopy in (living) human and yeast cells. For both projects, among others, you will be expected to develop protocols for optimal labelling for STED; develop image analysis algorithms using Python, and investigate minimal impact imaging protocols.
Deadline for application 15th of June
Requirements
MSc in Physics, (nano) Biology or a related discipline. Experience with light microscopy is an advantage. Affinity for wet-lab work, and experience in general programming (Python) and optics are desirable.
