The MUSIQ project officially started on 1. April and will run for the next four years under the coordination of Prof. Paola Borri from the University of Cardiff in the United Kingdom.

MUSIQ has received 3.9 million euro funding from the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union. The following scientific objectives highlight the research training goals of this project:

• Investigate nonlinear optical phenomena originating from the intrinsic response of natural biomolecules.
• Combine nonlinear imaging with ultrafast two-dimensional spectroscopy
• Achieve single molecule detection and super-resolution in coherent nonlinear imaging.

MUSIQ is designed as an integrated research and training network where we will recruit 15 early stage researchers (ESRs) to work towards the central ambitious goal of developing the ‘quantum microscopes of tomorrow’.

To enhance the career perspective of the ESRs by training them in a broad range of cutting-edge scientific, technical and transferable skills, through a unique combination of projects, secondments, and tailored courses provided by world-leading academic institutions, high-tech companies and professional partners, across different European countries.

The recruitment phase for the open MUSIQ PhD positions has officially started. MUSIQ is looking to recruit 15 Early Stage Researchers (ERS).

The overarching training objective of MUSIQ is to form the next generation of creative, innovative, well-connected scientists in this technologically demanding field of multiphoton microscopy technology developments. Therefore MUSIQ, implements a multidisciplinary intersectoral training and research programme at the interface between physics, chemistry and life sciences.

To enhance the career perspective of the ESRs who will be choosen by training them in a broad range of cutting-edge scientific, technical and transferable skills, through a unique combination of projects, secondments, and tailored courses.

The EU funded project MUSIQ will officially start on 1st April 2019 and aims to develope with the help of 15 early stage researchers (ESRs) the next generation optical microscopy exploitin quantum coherent nonlinear phenomena.

It trains the ESRs on a unique mixture of experimental and computational skills at the physics/chemistry/life science interface. By bringing together a unique team of 6 world-leading academic groups, at the forefront of nonlinear optical microscopy and ultrafast coherent light-matter interaction phenomena, and 6 high tech companies, to translate the results into biomedical/pharmaceutical real-world applications.

The project will run for 48 months under the coordination of Prof Paola Borri from the Cardiff University.
