Research Associate/PhD Student Biosensor Technology and Biomedical Diagnostics (m/f/d)

Fluorescent nanomaterials are chemically modified to detect signal molecules. These biosensors are characterized by modern methods of fluorescence microscopy. These fluorescent sensors are designed to investigate how immune cells integrate chemical information and weigh decisions. In addition, these biosensors are to be optimized for use in biomedical diagnostics (e.g. for monitoring the immune system in tumor therapies).

successfully completed studies (M. Sc.) of biochemistry, chemistry, physics, material sciences or similar studies Interest in biophysical chemistry, biochemistry and optical methods Very good knowledge of microscopy, cell biology or molecular recognition is required. Very good English skills are also expected Competence in at least one of the two languages and the willingness to acquire the other are assumed.

Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) is one of the leading research universities in Germany. As a reform-oriented campus university, it unites in a unique way the entire range of large science areas in one place. The dynamic interaction of subjects and discipline cultures gives researchers and students the same special opportunities for interdisciplinary cooperation.

The RUB stands for diversity and equal opportunities. We therefore encourage the cooperation of heterogeneous teams and the professional path of people who are underrepresented in the respective areas of work. The RUB expressly wishes to apply for women. In areas where You are underrepresented, You are preferably taken into account with the same qualification.
