Postdoctoral Fellow Position at Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Osteology, Vienna, Austria

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to participate in an interdisciplinary research project studying the role of bone organic matrix quality in fragility fractures.

This project requires a high interest and skills in experimentation. Furthermore, spectral data analysis and processing is essential. Consequently, some programming experience is recommended (Matlab, python or similar).

In particular, your work will consist of:

  • Acquisition of Raman spectra
  • Spectral processing to obtain outcomes of interest
  • Statistical analysis

We offer:

  • Participation in cutting-edge research. LBIO employs a variety of modern analysis tools, including Raman spectrometers, TERS-AFM-Raman spectrometers, FTIR Imaging spectrometers,
  • Scanning acoustic microscopy, electron microscopy, light microscopy, histomorphometry, as well as a cell biology facility
  • A vibrant multidisciplinary research team
  • International collaborations
  • 2-year contract
