Vacature 32/081-2e The Physics Department at Hasselt University announces the following position (m/f) in the framework of the FWO-Odysseus-project “Exploring new pathways towards molecular electronics” :
Postdoctoral researcher molecular biophysics (2 years, possibly extendable with 2 years)
(mandate WNI/2008/012)
Job description
The research activities will be situated within the Institute for
Materials Research (IMO), which has a strong focus on novel material systems for micro- and organic electronics, molecular electronics, optoelectronics, and biosensors. The postdoctoral researcher will strengthen the cross-disciplinary approach of IMO and support actively the ongoing activities at the boundary between the domains of life sciences and nanostructure physics. More specifically, the candidate will initiate and pursuit advanced experimental studies in the field of single-molecule biophysics with a special emphasis on the electronic and nanomechanical aspects of antibody-antigen interactions and nucleic acids. The candidate can expect a fully-equipped laboratory and close scientific cooperation in a stimulating environment.
The postdoctoral researcher will also be involved in the supervision and training of Ph.D. students in physics and Master students in the ‘Bioelectronics & Nanotechnology’ programme (www.uhasselt.be/bioelectronics-master).
Profile
Research experience in molecular biophysics and the related experimental techniques (e.g. nanostructural engineering, scanning-probe microscopy, force spectroscopy) is a benefit.
Diploma
PhD in sciences (physics, chemistry), engineering, biomedical sciences, bio-engineering or related research areas.
