Functiebeschrijving
Introduction
Nano- and microtechnologies are powerful tools to engineer, probe and detect very small amounts of biological material. Investigations range from nano- and microtechnologies for the control of biological assays in lab-on-a-chip devices, to nanotechnologies for biophysical studies of molecules and cells. The aim is always to achieve quantitative control and understanding of biophysical interactions, with resolution down to single molecules and single cells.
We have a position available for an assistant professor in the group Molecular Biosensors for Medical Diagnostics (headed by prof. Prins,www.phys.tue.nl/mbx). The group is a member of the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (www.icms.tue.nl) and the BioNano centre of the federation of Dutch Universities of Technology (www.3tu.nl/en).
We focus on investigating nanotechnologies for studies of proteins and protein function, both in a molecular and a cellular context, with application potential in medical biosensing. We collaborate intensively with research groups working in molecular and cellular biology, biophysical theory, and in industrial and clinical applications.
Tasks
The new assistant professor is expected to:
Perform research in the field of nanotechnologies for biological investigations
Obtain grants from national and international funding organisations
Publish in renown scientific journals
Make a significant contribution to the educational program of the department
Supervise MSc and PhD students
Promote the applicability of the research results
Maintain and expand contacts with industrial partners
