Offer Description
Description of Group/Project:
The SYM group is focused on designing and implementing new biosensing schemes and strategies to simplify chemical and biochemical analysis. The group experience and accumulated know-how cover from the conceptual design to the fabrication of integrated (bio)analytical instrumentation for selected applications.
The job is framed within a recent European project entitled Ultra-sound and Graphene FET-enhanced wearable Sensing (Ultrasense). It aims to set up a stretchable and multi-sensing biosensor as a wearable tool for continuous assessment of obesity-related biomarkers, fostering sustainable weight management. The job will be essentially related to implementing the electrochemical platform developed for the defined target bioapplications, especially focusing on the research line of biofunctionalization and immunoassay development.
Main Tasks and responsibilities:
The postdoctoral researcher will be involved in setting up graphene-based stretchable electrodes and screening the best receptors and assay format for the selected biomarkers. Specifically, the candidate will work on:
- Chemical surface modification of graphene films and organic/inorganic nanoparticles and their characterization with advanced techniques.
- Strategies for surface bioreceptor immobilization.
- Fluorescence immunoassay methods (ELISA, microarrays)
- Implementation of the developed platforms in a wearable, stretchable biosensor
- Written research reports and manuscript
Summary of conditions:
- Full-time work (37,5h/week)
- Contract Length: Temporary (until September 2027)
- Location: Universitat Politècnica de València (Valencia)
- Salary will depend on qualifications and demonstrated experience.
