Your responsibilities will include developing, implementing, and maintaining efficient workflows for data processing and analysis, including data collection, storage, and quality control, correcting image artifacts, as well as advanced analysis and quantification of image and flow data. The role also involves interpreting results and writing scientific articles.

The research is conducted in collaboration with other senior researchers and doctoral students in the group.

As a Senior Research Engineer, you will conduct research, both in collaboration with others and in your own projects. Some teaching and supervision may also be included in the duties.
