PhD Studentship, Warwick Medical School, Biomedical Cell Biology
Supporting Partner: Warwick Private Hospitals Charitable Trust
This is an outstanding opportunity for a practically-minded Physicist, Engineer or Biologist with an interest in modern digital optical microscopy to pursue a PhD qualification in optical microscope control engineering. As part of a wider programme in digital optical microscopy, we are currently developing the Warwick Open Source Microscope (WOSM, http://wosmic.org). The WOSM uses a compact optical design that is exceptionally physically stable, opening up new opportunities for ultra high resolution optical microscopy. The most innovative aspect of the WOSM is its control scheme.
The entire microscope is controlled from a web browser via a local microcontroller, allowing remote operation and allowing several microscopes to be controlled from a single web browser. The immediate opportunity is for a student to take on the work of implementing Rasberry Pi integration.
The WOSM project website will serve software, data and community-based support for both hardware and software. There are opportunities in implementing this, also.
More Detail: Currently the WOSM microcontroller (PIC32mx 80MHz) serves the microscope control web-pages and controls the microscope timing. To improve system latency this project will begin by moving the web control front-end to a Raspberry Pi. The student will also assist in the development of an ultra-stable laser tweezers WOSM. This will be a microscope for making recordings from single motor protein molecules (measuring piconewton forces and nanometer scale movements of single molecules).
The student will need to have an interest in microscope development and control as well as competance in one or more of the following:
- Web development (including HTML/CSS/Javascript/Jquery)
- Application development (C/C++/C#)
- CAD, 3D design and 3D printing
- Embedded system development with in-circuit debugging (PIC, ATMEL or ARM)
- Digital circuit design and interfacing
Awards available: 1 award available
Funding Details: Fees and maintenance at RCUK level
Eligibility: Open to both Home/EU and Overseas applicants
Length of Award: 4 years (PhD)
Application Details:
Candidates should have at least a 2:1 degree in a relevant subject, and be able to demonstrate relevant understanding, interests and abilities. The successful candidate will work closely with Dr Nick Carter, the WOSM design-engineer.
For further details or information applications please contact Nick Carter, nick.carter@warwick.ac.uk
Deadline: 20 September 2013
