Work duties

The position will be part of projects aiming to interface between biomolecules and semiconductor nanostructures. The aim of the project is to detect single macromolecules using optical or electrical signals.   

Specific work duties will include:

  • Supporting ongoing nanofabrication projects, in particular the fabrication of interdigitated nanoelectrodes for the detection of single mole-cycles.
  • May also include fabrication and characterisation of other types of structures, such as microfluidic components or structures for the optical detection of biomolecules using nanowires.

Qualifications

Required qualifications for the position are:

  • Master’s degree in physics, nanoscience and nanotechnology, or a related field
  • Experience in nanofabrication (for example EBL)
  • Experience in modelling (for example microfluidics or light scattering) in Comsol

Additional qualifications for the position are:

  • Experience of working with experimental optics
  • Experience with characterization techniques (for example AFM, SEM)

We will place great emphasis on personal suitability. Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant’s experience and skills are deemed to complement and strengthen the work within the unit.

Further information

The position is a fixed term position for one year at 100 per cent of full time and starting by agreement.
