Dear confocal colleagues,
A friend of mine is looking for an expert in biophotonics to help him measure the minute deflections of the tiny hair cells in the ear which allow us to hear, and I thought the best place to go looking would be here! The position is funded for up to five years, but probably shorter - the exact duration can be negotiated with Dr Kozlov directly. The advert is copied underneath, and the link is here:

Many thanks,

JOB ADVERT:
We welcome applications for postdoctoral candidates with expertise in optics and instrument development who want to apply their skills in the field of the biophysics of hearing. The position in Dr. Andrei Kozlov's lab (www.kozlovlab.com<
http://www.kozlovlab.com>) in the Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London is supported by a five-year Wellcome Trust Investigator Award.
We investigate mechano-electrical transduction by hair cells, the receptor cells of the inner ear. These cells can detect and amplify atomic-scale vibrations at thousands of cycles per second. We are interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying this extreme sensitivity. To achieve our goal, we combine novel experimental and theoretical approaches.
The position will focus on developing new optical methods, including laser interferometry, and combining them with electrophysiology. Practical knowledge of optics or optomechanics is essential for this work. For more information about this kind of research, see Kozlov et al., Nature, 2011.
The position will start in 2019 - early 2020. Please send the names of three references, a CV with a list of publications and preprints, and an application letter describing your interests and skills.
