At DTU Nanotech a PhD scholarship is available in biomedical nanotechnology with focus on the development of microfluidic chip devices for studying cell tissue models in relation to drug development in the pharmaceutical industry. The project aims to develop microchip systems that can be used to study drug transport phenomena. The project is a collaboration between two research groups at the Technical University of Denmark, Department of Micro- and Nanotechnology, and is highly cross-disciplinary in nature.
The PhD project involves microfabrication approaches (mostly based on polymer materials), development of microdevices with integrated fluidic, electrical and optical functionalities, as well as microscopy. The starting date is as soon as possible.
The PhD student will be a part of the ChemLabChip group at the Department of Micro and Nanotechnology.
QualificationsThe ideal candidate should have a master’s degree either in nanotechnology or in electrical or mechanical engineering, chemistry or physics with focus on nanotechnology, and preferably with experience within some of the above mentioned areas. Strong communication skills and a strong academic record is an advantage. The applicant should strive towards developing scientific skills at the highest level, be ambitious and hard working.
