PhD or Post-doc (f/m/d) on engineering living materials for lighting

25.07.2024, Wissenschaftliches Personal

Requirement:

We are looking for an individual with initiative and motivation to work at a dynamic chair at TUM in the framework of the DFG-SPP2451 project ENABLED. The research activities will cross the boundary between protein engineering, microbiology, polymer design, bacteria-based materials, and fabrication/analysis of bio-hybrid LEDs. This will be complemented by spectroscopic, mechanical and microscopic characterization techniques. The workflow spans from protein engineering and polymer design, through the preparation and characterization of bacteria-polymer materials, to fabrication and analysis of bio-hybrid lighting devices.

Qualifications:

• High motivation and commitment to scientific excellence.
• Master's degree (10 semesters) and/or PhD in  biochemistry/ biotechnology/ chemistry/ materials science or related disciplines.
• Team skills and enthusiasm for working in a multidisciplinary, collaborative environment are required.
• Experience in fluorescent protein engineering and is required.
• Experience in (bio)-polymer chemistry is required.
• Experience in handling and characterize (bio)-polymer composites is required.
• Experience in handling and characterize bacteria living materials is required Previous work experience in lighting systems will be viewed favorably.
• Excellent English language skills (fluent in writing and speaking). No knowledge of German is completely acceptable (free training will be provided)
