Post Doctoral researcher for diagnostic assays based on polymeric coacervates
We are a group in Biochemical Engineering active on coacervation (condensation) in biology and biotechnology, including applications in bioseparation and diagnostics.
Project background
The candidate will build on zwitterionic polymeric coacervates that we recently developed (U. Capasso Palmiero et al. Advanced Materials, 2104837, 34, 4, 2022). In this project you will work on these coacervates towards applications for diagnostic assays, in particular for the detection of analytes in complex fluids.
Job description
- design, synthesis and characterization of polymers
- functionalization of polymers
- characterization of phase separation in complex fluids
- data analysis
- implementation in microfluidic assay
We offer
ETH Zurich is a family-friendly employer with excellent working conditions. You can look forward to an exciting working environment, cultural diversity and attractive offers and benefits.
Your profile
You have a PhD in chemical, biochemical or biomedical engineering or a related subject. Strong interest towards translational research and entrepreneurship is crucial. Experience at the interface between polymer synthesis, bioengineering and analytical assays is ideal. Excellent academic qualifications and good English language skills would be additional relevant assets.
