PhD position on quantum sensing of biomolecules and their chemical stimuli 100%

Your position

In this interdisciplinary PhD project, you will :

• Build an optically-detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectrometer based on state-of-the-art equipment.
• Detect single particles and single photons to establish new fluorescence readouts.
• Develop a range of biocompatible experiments to detect protein molecules and their chemical stimuli.

This work will yield key steps towards single-molecule NMR of biomolecules based on our progress in optical quantum sensing with NV centers.

This is a full-time position, and a project we ideally want to start in the first half of 2025..

Your profile

Prior experience in several of these areas is desired :

• Optics and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques,
• Quantum sensing, ideally using color centers,
• Single-molecule experiments and interpretation,
• Advanced data analysis, coding, modeling, machine learning.

Essential requirements :

• MSc degree in physics or physical-chemistry with excellent grades,
• High motivation and curiosity about fundamental questions and method development,
• Independent analytical thinking and systematic work style,
• Excellent experimental problem-solving skills and perseverance,
• Great team player proficient in English (speaking & writing).
