SCIENCE-JOBS-DE Stellenausschreibung (vacancies) ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dieses Angebot wurde eingegeben bei http://www.drarbeit.de, der Internet-Stellenboerse und Kooperationspartner von SCIENCE-JOBS-DE für Diplom- und Promotionsarbeiten ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fachgebiete: Chemie Thema: Doktorarbeit: Open Position in the Marie-Curie training network HIERARCHY Ansprechpartner: Dr. rer. nat. Jürgen Groll Antwort an: gr...@dwi.rwth-aachen.de Institution: Institut für Technische und Makromolekulare Chemie Ort: 52056 Aachen, Pauwelsstr. 8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- One PhD position is available at the ITMC at the RWTH Aachen. This project includes the synthesis and characterization of new polymers with controlled molecular architecture, endowment of these macromoleculs with biodegradable segments, and application of the resulting molecules for surface modification of substrates and preparation of hydrogels especially for bioanalytical and biosensing applications. The role of the researcher is to develop new concepts for the modification of material surfaces with biological cues in a highly specific way that is controlled both in spatial presentation and in temporal degradation. Application tests such as specific protein adsorption and cell adhesion and tailored release of immobilized biological cues will be done in close cooperation with biologists in the group. Methoden: Hierarchy is pan‐European Marie-Curie Training Network funded by the EU in the 7th Framework Programme. The goal of Hierarchy is to develop a tool box of aided assembly techniques for the construction of the next generation of molecular and biomolecular devices. Hierarchy is set up by leading European laboratories in (bio)chemistry, soft condensed matter and solid state matter, including Radboud University Nijmegen, Jozef Stefan Institute Ljubljana, RWTH Aachen, TU Eindhoven, University of Ljubljana, MPI for Dynamics and Self‐Organization Göttingen, Philips Eindhoven, Balder Ljubljana, Planet Research International Wageningen, and Merck UK Southampton. Within the Training Programme of Hierarchy, you will also have the opportunity to work at the partner institutes. Because of the highly interdisciplinary nature of the Hierarchy research programme applicants have to demonstrate a broad interest in various activity of the programme. In addition, candidates will be expected to travel regularly to Meetings and partner institutions. Please note that the EU has published strict eligibility criteria for Early Stage Researchers (PhD students). In short, candidates can not apply in their own country or the country that they have worked/studied in for more than 12 months over the last 3 years. Candidates from third countries are eligible under FP7. Women are encouraged to apply. The ITMC at the RWTH Aachen is a recognised graduate school that works at the forefront of the design and synthesis of functional molecular structures and materials. Main areas of research are functional polymers, biomaterials, and chemical surface modification. The combination of chemical functionality (reactivity) and structural variability (architecture) in polymers as well as the tailoring of these materials and their application for the generation of biofunctional materials and material surfaces are core competences of the institute. ITMC is fostering an international collaborative atmosphere where scientists with backgrounds in (bio)chemistry, (micro)biology, physics and materials science work together to understand and control complexity in order to design new functionalities in various systems. Accordingly, the institute has excellent synthetic capabilities and a unique spectroscopy infrastructure. Anfangsdatum: 19.
