The Institute of Physiology of the University of Freiburg has two openings in Biophysics
Biological and solid state nanopores play an increasing role in molecular diagnostics. The goal of this project is to establish their use for the identification of peptides and their post-translational modifications that are found in a variety of pathological conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and infectious diseases. Simultaneous observation of the electrical current through a single nanopore, and the optical signal from a dye molecule inside the pore will provide characteristic information of the peptide bound in the pore.
As a part of the collaborative research cluster "nEOdiag" funded by the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung (https://www.carl-zeiss-stiftung.de/themen-projekte/uebersicht-projekte/detail/nanoporen-basierte-elektrisch-optische-proteindiagnostik-neodiag), the University of Freiburg (https://www.uni-freiburg.de) offers two postdoc positions (E13 TV-L) in a fixed-term contract for two years to work on the project "Development of marker-free electrical-optical sensing based on biological nanopores".
The preferred starting date is as soon as possible. The positions are initially limited for two years with a renewal option.
