Job Description

The Position

Single particle analysis is a group of related computerized image processing techniques used to analyze images from transmission electron microscopy. These methods were developed to improve and extend the information obtainable from TEM images of particulate samples, typically proteins or other large biological entities such as viruses. Such imaging were crucial e.g., to the development of a Covid vaccine.

We are looking for an intern with strong mathematics and physics skills to work in our team on the next generation of the imaging technology!
