Phd at Biomedical Research Institute

The Biomedical Research Institute (BIOMED) of Hasselt University has a position available for a PhD Student for the project "Development and Characterisation of Fluorescent Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Nanotechnology and Applications in Advanced Electronic Devices, Chemo- and Bio-sensors". This project runs in close collaboration with the Institute for Materials Research (IMO):

PhD Student (2x2 years)(mandate MBW/2006/004-HO-4)

The duration of the position is 2x2 years, with an assessment after 2 years.
Job descriptionThe PhD student will conduct research in the field of molecular imprinted polymers (MIP) which will be used as building blocks for chemo- and biosensors. The focus of the position is on fluorescence characterization of MIPs embedded in a matrix of conjugated polymers. The PhD student will employ an array of (micro)fluometric techniques.
Diploma and profileMaster degree (or equivalent) in either physics, chemistry, biomedical sciences, bio-engineer, engineer in physics, engineer in chemistry or civil engineer. Students in their final year can also apply. The candidate must master either the Dutch or the English language.
