PhD Sensor technology (2×2 years)
(mandate WNI/2008/016-HO2)

Job description
The PhD student will conduct scientific research within the framework of
development of sensor platforms for electronic characterisation of DNA
mutations and related problems. More specifically, sensor arrays will be
developed based on impedimetric and isocap-based sensor concepts. An important
issue is the analysis of electric field and band structure effects at the
interface between aqueous phases, molecular layers and semiconductor surfaces.
Furthermore, attention will be focussed on the optimisation of the performance
of the sensor arrays.

Profile and diploma
Master degree (or equivalent) in either physics, applied sciences, electronics,
physical chemistry, nano- and microtechnology or materials science. Students
who graduate this year can also apply.

Appointment
The appointment has a duration of 2×2 years (assessment after 2 years).
