Help establish Leif-Thore Deck’s new research group and investigate biomolecular phase transitions across scales. The work combines droplet microfluidics and fluorescence microscopy with thermodynamic and kinetic measurements of protein and peptide condensates, fibrils and crystals, connecting microscopic nucleation processes to litre-scale precipitation. Responsibilities include experimental development and student supervision. The full-time, three-year appointment is paid at TVöD E13 and can begin as soon as possible. Applications remain open until the position is filled.

Advances in fluorescence microscopy enable monitoring larger brain areas in-vivo with finer time resolution. The resulting data rates require reproducible analysis pipelines that are reliable, fully automated, and scalable to datasets generated over the course of months. We present CaImAn, an open-source library for calcium imaging data analysis. CaImAn provides automatic and scalable methods to address problems common to pre-processing, including motion correction, neural activity identification, and registration across different sessions of data collection. It does this while requiring minim
