Research Assistant - Group Leader Neuromorphic Biomaterials (m/f/d)

Our research at the Department of Neuroelectronic Interfaces focuses on organic bioelectronics, neuromorphics and neurotechnologies. We develop next generation bioelectronic devices for neuronal interfaces, biosensors and optoelectronic applications. We combine advanced material synthesis with state-of-the-art micro and nano manufacturing to realize functional devices both on rigid and flexible substrates. We are looking for an outstanding scientist who leads this group to contribute to our scientific agenda and to help shape the future of neuroelectronics research at RWTH Aachen. The RWTH is certified as a family-friendly university. RWTH offers a variety of health, counselling and prevention services (e.g. university sports) as part of a university health management. There is a wide range of training and the possibility of obtaining a job ticket for employees and civil servants.

Your duties As a group manager (w/m/d) you take over: Conduct and independent development of a research program in the field of material development for organic bioelectronics, opto-electronic sensors and biochemical sensor technology Monitoring the synthesis and physicochemical characterization of organic semiconductor materials and their integration into rigid and flexible substrates for bioelectronic applications Promoting research and development in additive manufacturing and Printed Electronics, including two-photon polymerization (2PP) and related techniques Care and mentoring of doctoral students, master students and student assistants Individual application of third-party funding via funding applications (DFG, BMBF, EU‐Horizon, etc.) Representation of the group at national and international conferences and in cooperative research networks Teaching obligation of 8 SWS (Semesterwochen) in the fields of organic bioelectronics and neurotechnologies Participation in administrative and organisational tasks of the Institute

Your profile Required qualifications PhD in Chemistry detectable expertise in synthesis and characterization of organic semiconductors, conjugated polymers or small organic electronic materials Experience in the design and design of flexible electronic platforms Experience in the integration of organic semiconductors into microchip-based technologies for bioelectronic, optoelectronic or biochemical sensor technology applications Practical experience with additive manufacturing and printing techniques, in particular two-photon polymerization (2PP) Controlling clean room-based microproduction (photolithography, metal-thin film deposition (PVD/evaporation/sputtering) and ITO deposition) Experience in drafting applications Experience in the care of doctoral students Higher education experience in organic electronics, bioelectronics or neuro-technology Experience in organizing scientific events and dissemination of results (e.g. posters, invited lectures at international conferences) Excellent English skills in word and writing Required qualifications Experience with electrochemical characterization methods (CV, EIS, OECT characterization) Etablated network in the community of organic bioelectronics or neuro technology Postdoctoral research experience at an internationally recognized institution You are ready to participate in the “ Teachings at the RWTH” of Excellent Academic Teaching at the Center for Teaching and Learning Services (CLS). You have the “Certificate Lead” of the Center for Professional Leadership (CPL) of RWTH or are ready to purchase the certificate after employment.

The employment is in the employment relationship. The place shall be occupied at the next possible time and shall be permanent. It is a full-time job. The grouping depends on the TV-L. The place is rated with EG 14 TV-L. The job description is aimed at all sexes. We want to promote the careers of women at RWTH Aachen University and are therefore looking forward to applicants. Women are preferably taken into account in the case of equal suitability, competence and professional performance, provided You are underrepresented in the organisational unit and, if not in the person of a competitor, outweigh the reasons.
