**Your Job**:
This work will be performed as part of an agile team unified by a common goal: An Industry partner from semen production provides fresh sperm cells and pre-analysis. A second industry partner from data sciences provides data management and AI based Image analysis, an internal simulations group working on quantitative models to reproduce and predict experimental data, and an internal experiments group (You+Supervisor+support by lab). These collaborations enable practically relevant and breakthrough results.
This team goal requires initially videomicroscopy of X-Y fluorescently labeled sperm cells to develop a quantitative model. Once established, predicted separation mechanisms need to be tested. You will perform these experiments.
Your tasks will include:
- Adapt existing DNA labeling protocols to our Workflow
- Performing microscopy experiments on sperm dynamics under various controlled environmental conditions.
- Merging experimental results, simulations, and literature for optimal conditions inducing movement differences, in collaboration with the team.
- Testing proposed separation techniques
- Participation in conferences in Germany and abroad (incl. presenting your research results)
- Travel to industry partners to learn and set up on-site research
- Preparing scientific publications and project reports
**Your Profile**:
- Strong motivation for an interdisciplinary project that combines physics and biology together with simulation and data science and practical relevance
- A master's degree or diploma in biophysics, biology, biochemistry, or other relevant discipline
- Excellent written and spoken English skills
- High degree of independence and commitment
Experience in relevant work tasks are advantageous but not mandatory: Wet-Lab work, ideally with sperm cells and/or labelling, Different forms of microscopy, Programming
**Our Offer**:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:
- EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH: As one of Europe’s largest and most multidisciplinary research centres, Forschungszentrum Jülich provides access to world-class infrastructure and a vibrant international scientific community.
