Job description

Offer DescriptionLife is complex and can only be studied using the powerful tools. Fluorescent biosensors deepened our understanding of life by allowing us to image chemical processes within the live system. We have developed a successful research line on the development and application of such molecules, but only a small number of biomolecules can be detected. As part of this project, you will join our team by focusing on the development of an entirely new biosensor architecture that can visualize many more biochemical processes. In doing so, you will make it possible to study many more processes within intact cells and live tissues or tissue mimics.
During this project, you will apply protein engineering to develop new biosensors against key cellular targets, evaluate their performance using fluorescence microscopy on living systems, and showcase their use to answer biological questions. You will apply and master a broad range of techniques, including biochemical lab work (sensor engineering), spectroscopic measurements and characterization, fluorescence microscopy imaging, and computational data analysis.Where to apply WebsiteRequirementsResearch Field Biological sciences Education Level PhD or equivalentLanguages ENGLISH Level ExcellentAdditional InformationBenefitsWe offer a full time position as a postdoctoral research in our team, including mentoring and opportunities to grow towards a more senior role. The starting date of this position can be established in mutual agreement.

Eligibility criteriaYou possess a PhD degree in a scientific discipline such as (bio)chemistry, biology, physics, or in another field where you can reasonably be expected to realize this research. You are fascinated by the development of molecular tools and more generally methodology to study complex biological systems.Selection processFor more information please contact Prof. dr.
