About the role
At Flagship Labs 120, we’re assembling a multidisciplinary team to invent, build, and rapidly test innovative technologies for observing biological systems. We are looking for a scientist with deep hands-on experience in optics and vibrational spectroscopy to join the team and help turn promising experimental opportunities into practical capabilities for the platform.
What they're looking for
- PhD (or equivalent experience) in physics, biophysics, chemistry, engineering, bioengineering, or a related discipline
- Deep hands-on experience developing and applying optical microscopy and vibrational spectroscopy techniques such as Raman microscopy, IR spectroscopy, or related methods
- Strong experimental background and demonstrated ability to independently execute and troubleshoot complex experiments
- Solid understanding of the physics and engineering of optical instrumentation
- Strong scientific judgment and the ability to distinguish meaningful biological signals from technical artifacts
- Experience developing or optimizing advanced Raman spectroscopy (e.g. CARS, SRS) or IR spectroscopy (e.g. photothermal IR), or related techniques
