The Institute for Materials Science (Dresden University of Technology, Germany) is offering the position of a Member of academic staff to work on the development of nanowire-based biosensor systems. The position will start on 1st October 2011 and is initially for 2 years.
The scientific activities of the Chair Materials Science and Nanotechnology (Prof. G. Cuniberti), Institute for Materials Science, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, are focused on developing non conventional strategies for novel materials and devices with intrinsic nanoscale complexity. Biological complexity suggests optimal routes for the design of bottom-up advanced materials.
At the Chair Materials Science and Nanotechnology is open to work on the development of nanowire-based biosensor systems the position of a Member of academic staff.
The position will start on 1st October 2011 and is initially for 2 years, with possibility of extension. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz - WissZeitVG). Payment is according to the nationally agreed scale TV-L.
Tasks:
The successful candidate will be involved in guiding our Bioelectronics Research Group at the Max Bergmann Center of Biomaterials. The task will include the review of the scientific progress of the research group, the management of the cooperation with internal and external academic and industrial partners, the acquisition of third party grants and the assistance in the teaching activities of the chair. The candidate is expected to pursue her/his habilitation at our chair.
Requirements:
academic doctorate in Science or Engineering. Previous knowledge in molecular biochemistry, surface chemistry and experience in biosensorics are considered as preferential.
