University of Hasselt offer Postdoctoral Research in the field of physics, nanosciences, engineering, or biomedical sciences, 2012 Belgium
Study Subject(s):Nano Sciences (Biofunctional Interfaces)
Course Level:Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: Hasselt university
Scholarship can be taken at: Belgium
Eligibility:
The candidate has research interest; Good knowledge of English; Problem solving capacity; Diploma Ph.D. in physics, nanosciences, engineering, or biomedical sciences (or equal). Relevant research experience in the field of biosensors is considered as a benefit. Candidates who have not yet obtained their Ph.D. can apply, provided that the Ph.D. is awarded before the end of September 2012
Scholarship Open for International Students: Yes
Scholarship Description: The central topic is the study on interface effects between solid matter (metals, semiconductors, oxides) and aqueous media and on biological and chemical processes taking place at the interface between ‘solid’ and ‘liquid’.
There will be a special focus on electronic conductivity- and heat-transfer phenomena as well as the optical and micro-mechanical aspects of these interfaces.
The final goal is the development of new, label-free biosensor concepts for the analysis of protein-protein interactions, genetic assays, and the quantitative detection of cells, metabolites, and pharmaceutically active molecules. An important issue are targeted morphological and biochemical surface modifications, allowing for the specific and selective recognition of molecules, cells, and genetic material. The development of dedicated analytical methods, allowing to address the scale of individual cells and molecules, is also part of this research project.
Note: Applicants must use the official application forms which can be downloaded. Application by e-mail will only be taken into consideration when sent . Please add a copy of your diploma, a list of courses and your results per course. Without these we cannot evaluate your application.
Scholarship Application Deadline: 28 September 2012
