PostDoc Position on Advanced Optics and Single-molecule Dielectrophoresis
University of Twente - Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EWI)
Enschede, Netherlands
We are developing a platform for label-free characterization of single (bio)molecules and nanoparticles, bringing the lab-on-a-chip concept to the ultimate single-molecule resolution. Your research will be focused on building a widefield iSCAT microscope for the readout of the optical signal from gold nanogap electrodes for trapping/actuation of single biomolecules using dielectrophoresis. Are you passionate about developing new single-molecule methods and have experience with interferometric techniques like iSCAT, COBRI, iSCAMS, and HiSCAT? We want to make these techniques better by adding a trapping functionality to them! Excited? Apply to this position! We have all you need to execute your ambitious research: cleanroom facilities, optical, electronic and chemical labs and most importantly lots of fun people to work with.
Your profile
- You are a very enthusiastic, positive and hardworking researcher and highly motivated about this project;
- You have, or will shortly acquire, a PhD degree in the field of Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Nanotechnology, Bionanoscience or a related field;
- Previous experience in advanced label-free interferometric imaging with iSCAT or COBRI microscopy or alike;
- You are a creative person and have excellent analytical and communication skills;
- You have good team spirit and like to work in an interdisciplinary and internationally oriented environment;
- You are proficient in English.
