PhD student (2x2 years) in label-free DNA-sensors with real-time, electronic detection principles
(mandate WNI/2009/001)
Job description
The PhD student will conduct research within the FWO-project “Synthetic diamond films as platform materials for novel DNA-sensors with electronic detection principles”. This project is a joint initiative of the Institute for Materials Research IMO and the Biomedical Research Institute BIOMED at Hasselt University in cooperation with the Institute for Nano- and Biotechnologies at Aachen University of Applied Sciences. The candidate will focus on i) the covalent bonding of DNA onto diamond-based sensor electrodes and the morphological study of molecular DNA brushes, ii) the integration into label-free biosensors with electronic, impedance-based read-out techniques, and iii) the upgrading towards sensor arrays with a benchmarking with respect to point-mutations in patients’ genetic materials. This project combines cutting-edge applied- and fundamental research topics in an interdisciplinary environment. Interest in team work, excellent
communication skills, and broad interests in natural-, medical-, and engineering sciences are a benefit.
Profile and diploma
Master degree (or equivalent) in physics, biomedical sciences, materials science, nanotechnology, electronic engineering, or physical chemistry. A background in any of the fields mentioned in the job description will be considered a plus.
Diploma
The appointment has a duration of 2x2 years (assessment after 2 years). Students who will obtain their diploma at the end of this academic year, are also invited to apply.

PhD student (2x2 years) in charge transfer in semiconducting plymers
PhD student (2x2 years) in charge transfer in semiconducting polymer / CVD diamond heterostructures
(mandate WNI/2009/002)
Job description
The PhD student will conduct research within the BOF-project “Formation and charge transfer mechanism in semiconducting polymer / CVD diamond heterostructures – POLYDIAM”. In collaboration between different research groups of the Institute for Materials Research (IMO), various small molecules and conducting oligomers/polymers will be combined with CVD diamond films to form heterostructures. The candidate will focus on chemical bonding procedures, developing photo and electrochemical coupling procedures of short chain molecules to diamond surfaces. He/she will perform morphological and structural characterisation of the formed heterostructures, followed by a thorough electronic and optoelectronic characterisation using highly sensitive techniques studying the charge transfer mechanism present in said structures. The nature of the project is highly cross-disciplinary and requires a candidate with good communication skills and a keen
interest in team work.
Profile
Master degree (or equivalent) in physics, chemistry, engineering or materials science. A background in any of the fields mentioned in the job description will be considered a plus. Students who will obtain their diploma at the end of this academic year, are also invited to apply.
Offer
The appointment has a duration of 2x2 years (assessment after 2 years).
