Exciting PhD Opportunity in 'Life Science Engineering' at TU Darmstadt
Activities and responsibilities
Join the group of Prof. Viktor Stein - Protein Engineering_ Biosensing and Transport
The research group \"Protein Engineering: Biosensing and Transport\" led by Prof. Dr. Viktor Stein at the Department of Biology at the TU Darmstadt is offering a PhD position in protein engineering and synthetic biology.
The group takes a protein-centric approach to synthetic biology strategically focussing on the development of protein technologies - notably biosensors, protein switches, and nanopores - for different applications in basic research and biotechnology.
Parts of its work also entails a strong focus on the development and application of enabling technologies (e.g. DNA assembly methods and high throughput screening systems) that are combined with high-resolution analytical methods (e.g. electrophysiological measurements in lipid bilayers and live cell fluorescence microscopy in microfluidics).
Research projects are highly interdisciplinary as biomolecular and biochemical approaches are leveraged with the expertise of computational groups (e.g. to facilitate protein engineering endeavours with machine learning) and material scientists (e.g. to develop hybrid biosensors for in-field applications).
A 3-year contract (50% E13 TV-TUDa) is envisaged with the possibility of extension.
