For further information about the tenure track process, please visit We are looking for a person to represent this subject in research and teaching as soon as possible. The professorship will be based at the Institute of Experimental Molecular Imaging and will expand the existing expertise by engineering and computer science aspects. The aim is to develop imaging methods that allow morphological, functional and molecular analyses in vivo (preclinical and clinical studies), in three-dimensional in vitro models and in bioreactors, which lie between the microscopic and macroscopic order of magnitude in terms of their resolution. In addition to the ultrasound localisation microscopy co-developed at the Institute, all methods available at the Chair of Experimental Molecular Imaging (photoacoustics, optical imaging, μCT, MRI, SPECT-CT, PET-MRI, MPI) can be used for this purpose. The professorship will bridge the gap between engineering/computer science and biomedical research.
