PhD student (f/m/d) on fluorescent protein engineering for optoelectronics

25.07.2024, Wissenschaftliches Personal

Requirement:

Fluorescent protein materials for photon manipulation are considered frontrunners in sustainable lighting and photovoltaics. We are looking for an individual with initiative and motivation to start his or her career at a dynamic chair at TUM in the framework of the ERC-Co InOutBioLight. The research activities will cross the boundary between protein engineering to develop new protein-based materials as bio-phosphors for bio-hybrid LEDs and photovoltaics.

Qualifications:

• High motivation and commitment to scientific excellence.
• Master's Degree/(10 semester diploma) in Biochemistry/ Biotechnology/ Chemistry/ Materials Science or related disciplines.
• Team skills and enthusiasm for working in a multidisciplinary, collaborative environment are required.
• Experience in protein engineering (cloning, expression, bacterial production, protein purification) is required.
• Experience in protein or enzyme chemistry is required.
• Experience in handling and spectroscopic/mechanical/thermal characterization of polymer composites will be viewed favorably.
• Previous experience with biopolymers, polymers and additives for protein or enzyme stabilization is welcome.
• Excellent English language skills (fully fluent in writing and speaking). No knowledge of German is perfectly acceptable (free lessons will be provided).
