Denmark: 2 Postdoctoral and 1 PhD positions

Apply before: 31.07.2007 at 12:00
(noon)

Two Postdoctoral and one PhD positions are available in the BioLabChip group
at MIC and Laboratory of Applied Micro and Nanotechnology at VET, DTU. The
positions are part of a team involved in national and EU research projects on
development of Lab-on-a Chip systems.

Candidates with a master degree (for PhD position) or a PhD degree (for
postdoc positions) in physics, electronics, mechanics, chemistry or molecular
biology are invited to apply for three years PhD position or two years post-doc
positions starting as soon as possible to work with the development of Lab on
chip for rapid detection and typing of avian influenza.

The projects will focus on the development of integrated Lab-on-a-Chip
systems for sample preparation, DNA amplification by RT-PCR and detection of the
PCR products using microarrays.

In the assessment of the candidates consideration will be given to:

• Experience with design and fabrication of microsystems 
• Clean room experience
• Experience with optical detection methods
• Experience with building experimental set-up for test and control (of
  microsystems)
• Experience with fabrication of polymer devices.
• Experience with PCR, DNA arrays and molecular biology methods.
• Experience with immunology and antibody/antigen arrays

VET - The National Veterinary Institute www.vet.dtu.dk is a research
institute belong to Technical University of Denmark (DTU) www.dtu.dk. VET is involved in
diagnostics and research on animal diseases and employs about 340 people. The
Laboratory of Applied Micro-nanotechnology is a research group within the
Department of Poultry, Fish and Fur Animals and is located in Aarhus. The
research of the group is focused on host-pathogens (bacteria, virus) interaction
(global genome expression (RT PCR) on applied micro-nanotechnology in rapid
detection of pathogens (PCR, Real-time PCR, RT PCR), define toxin and virulence
factors (in vitro & in vivo tests), and solid phase PCR for SNP detection in
Cancer and other diseases. The group focus on transferring assay from tubes to
chip format.

MIC – www.mic.dtu.dk is a research
centre for advanced micro- and nanotechnology at the Technical University of
Denmark (DTU) www.dtu.dk. The
BioLabChip group at MIC works on integration of micromachined tools for the
manipulation, sorting and analyses of cells. The work involves development of a
platform for DNA amplification based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR
chip), sample preparation for PCR based on dielectrophoresis (DEP), micro arrays
for DNA analysis, and optical cell analysis systems (flow cytometers). We are
implementing such systems for detecting pathogens in clinical samples and food
(e.g. Campylobacter in chickens and avian influenza), mutations screening, and
for cancers detection (e.g. colon cancer)
