TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most 
 dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented, 
 regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. lt 
 develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic 
 programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social 
 sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity 
 and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all 
 employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop 
 their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a 
 university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation 
 and active participation. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent 
 university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their 
 achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution. 
 
 At the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Institute of Circuits and Systems, the
 Chair of Measurement and Sensor System Technique (Prof. Jürgen Czarske) offers a project 
 position as
  
Research Associate / Postdoc (m/f/x) 
 Laser structured image guides 
 (subject to personal qualification employees are remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L) 
 
 starting as soon as possible. The position comprises 75% of the fulltime weekly hours and is limited 
 until December 31, 2024. The period of employment is governed by § 2 (2) Fixed Ter Research 
 Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz-WissZeitVG). 
 Coherent fiber bundles enable pixelated image transfer for endoscopy. However, the phase 
 information of the transferred light is lost, hindering 3D imaging. At the competence center 
 Biomedical Computational Laser Systems (BIOLAS) we investigate novel principles to correct the 
 optical transfer function of coherent fiber bundles to enable lens-less 3D imaging and structured 
 illumination for minimally invasive biomedical applications. 
 Tasks: The research focus is applying laser-based manufacturing to produce tailor-made holograms 
 on fiber facets. Your activities include the realization of optical fiber systems, the holographic 
 characterization of coherent fiber bundles pre- and post-processing as well as the development of 
 control strategies for laser-based manufacturing systems and the transfer to application. 
 Requirements: above-average university and, if applicable, PhD degree in the subject physics, fiber 
 optics or related areas; ability and willingness to work independently and conceptually in a dynamic 
 team; curiosity in research at interfaces of sciences; interest in practice-oriented, interdisciplinary 
 cooperation with partners from research and industry; knowledge of software development and 
 digital signal processing. Previous knowledge of fiber optics, non-linear optics, MATLAB or Python is 
 advantageous. 
 Technical questions will be answered with pleasure: Dr. Robert Kuschmierz, robert.kuschmierz@tu-
