Post-doc Research Opportunity – 3D Multimodal Atlas project (call will open soon)

Project: Develop cutting-edge imaging tools to create comprehensive 3D multimodal imaging atlases of diverse organisms. The project will combine three imaging methods – 3D histology, lightsheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) – to gather complementary information. The project involves close collaboration with The Hellenic Centre for Marine Research – HCMR (Greece) and the University of the Basque Country – PiE UPV/EHU (Spain).

Candidate: The Quantitative Bio-Imaging Lab (QBI) at CCMAR Algarve (https://ccmar.ualg.pt/group/quantitative-bio-imaging-lab) is seeking a post-doctoral researcher in the field of advanced fluorescence microscopy. The successful candidate will be involved in cutting-edge research focused on applying novel fluorescence microscopy techniques, particularly lightsheet microscopy, and developing sample preparation protocols to address key questions in marine biology and biomedicine. The ideal candidate should have:

– PhD in Biology, bioengineering, physics, or related field;
– Hands-on experience in advanced fluorescence microscopy;
– Hands-on experience in sample preparation, including tissue clearing, fluorescence immunolabeling and histology;
– Experience with image processing and analysis software such as Zen, Arivis, Huygens, ImageJ or other software;
– Ability to work independently as well as in a collaborative and interdisciplinary research team;

Interested in joining the QBI team? Drop us an email. If you are attending EMIM 2025, let’s chat in person! (Teresa Matias Correia tmcorreia@ualg.pt)
