Since our founding in 1785, the University of Georgia has operated as Georgia's oldest, most comprehensive, and most diversified institution of higher education (). The proof is in our more than 235 years of academic and professional achievements and our continual commitment to higher education. UGA is currently ranked among the top 20 public universities in U.S. News & World Report. The University's main campus is located in Athens, approximately 65 miles northeast of Atlanta, with extended campuses in Atlanta, Griffin, Gwinnett, and Tifton. UGA employs approximately 3,000 faculty and more than 7,700 full-time staff. The University's enrollment exceeds 40,000 students including over 30,000 undergraduates and over 10,000 graduate and professional students. Academic programs reside in 18 schools and colleges, as well as a medical partnership with Augusta University housed on the UGA Health Sciences Campus in Athens.

Building from our heritage of excellence in interdisciplinary education and research, the School of Electrical & Computer Engineering will work to expand and strengthen our undergraduate and graduate programs, build on our foundation of productive cross-disciplinary research and establish a culture that exemplifies operational best practices. By working to achieve these strategic objectives, we seek to build upon our heritage of "engineering without borders" as we grow a world class School of Electrical & Computer Engineering embedded in a strong liberal arts tradition.

The AIL, led by Dr. Peter Kner, specializes in developing cutting-edge techniques to enhance the resolution of three-dimensional fluorescence imaging. Our primary focus is on integrating various super-resolution methods, such as structured illumination and STORM, with adaptive optics. This synergy allows us to achieve sub-diffraction resolution in model organisms, notably C. elegans and zebrafish.

This position will be a full-time Post-Doctoral position, 40 hours per week Monday-Friday.

This position will be funded for 2 years, with the possibility of extension into a 3rd and/or 4th year based upon project needs, job performance, and continuation of funding.
