Positions

lab workingAre you interested in nanotechnology and its interfaces with material science, chemistry, electronics, and biology?
We are looking for outstanding graduate students and postdocs!
Background in nanofabrication, nanolithography, and nanoimaging is an advantage.
Enthusiasm, high motivation, creativity, and willingness to broaden horizons is a mandatory!
Important: all graduate positions are for full-time students.

We are hiring!

1. Postdoc 
We are looking for an outstanding postdoc with a background in biophysics, life science, biomedicine, or immunology, who will explore the role of extracellular biophysical cues (spatial distribution of ligands, elasticity, nanotopography) on the signaling and immune response of T cells. The postdoc will lead the design of nanostructured surfaces for addressing basic questions in the biophysics of T cells, and the relevant biological experiments, including ex-vivo T cell activation assays. The position requires a profound understanding of T cell biology and proficiency in experimental cell biology, biomaterials, and high-resolution microscopy. Candidates with an interdisciplinary background that include nanoengineering, microfabrication, and biochemistry, are particularly encouraged to apply. The ability to work in an interdisciplinary research team that includes materials engineers and chemists is mandatory.

2. Ph.D. Student

A Ph.D. student in materials engineering, chemistry, or related field. A strong background in biomaterials, nanofabrication, and nanomaterials and their biomedical applications is preferred. An ability to work in an interdisciplinary environment is mandatory.
