Overview
Within the Marie Curie Initial Training Network BioChemLig, we are offering an Early Stage Researcher level position up to a period of 3 years to research on new ligation reactions discovery and electrochemical sensors development.
In particular, the project to be carried out in the Group of Electrochemistry aims at the development of new probes and platforms for the electrochemical and electrochemiluminescent detection of important biomarkers.
Program Description
Scientists working in the BioChemLig project aim at the design and characterization of new molecular/supramolecular functional nanoscale architectures for the development of ultra-high sensitivity biomolecules recognition platforms and engineered biocatalytic systems. The candidate should have a background in electrochemistry, analytical or physical chemistry in general and should be ready to interact with the other partners from the consortium as well as with other Italian and international research Groups. The successful candidate will participate in an integrative research project using a panel of methodologies including electrochemistry, high-throughput screening, immunoanalysis, ligation of macromolecules and nanoparticules. His/her research will aim principally to the development of new probes for the electrochemical and electrochemiluminescent detection of important biomarkers also taking advantage of the unique features of novel carbon nanostructures (graphene and carbon nanotubes). He/she will also receive comprehensive training in various fields such as combinatorial chemistry, immunoassays techniques, molecular modeling and nanobiotechnology.
Research Field
Chemistry - Other
Benefits and amount awarded
Payment (annual gross salary of € 34,500 and allowance for transnational travel and mobility) will be according to Marie Curie rules (http://ec.europa.eu/ research/mariecurieactions/) . Vacations: one month/year. In Italy, vacations take place traditionally at Christmas and in Summer (mainly August)
Additional Requirements
Candidates holding a relevant Masters degree are eligible for this position within their first four years of their degree award. At the start of their fellowship, researchers may not have resided or carried out their main activity in Italy for more than 12 months in the preceding 3 years. Italian nationals are eligible only if they have been active in research in a Third Country for at least three of the last four years
During the contract, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to apply for the PhD School in Chemical Science of the University of Bologna. In order to enter the PhD programmes, formal applications have to be submitted (by internet) to the University of Bologna by the beginning of September, 2010. Further information and application form will soon be available at:
