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

The Biozentrum, University of Basel
Basilea, Basel-City
L'offerta di lavoro non è disponibile nel tuo Paese.

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).
