Offer Description
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher for the project \"Towards the automation of single-cell measurements using electrochemical nanoprobes (AutoCellSens)\". The project focuses on advancing the state‑of-the‑art in single‑cell analysis by automating the use of electrochemical nanoprobes, moving beyond manual and labor‑intensive procedures to high‑throughput sensing.
Key Responsibilities:
* Automation of Nanoprobes: Develop and implement automated systems for the precise positioning and measurement of electrochemical nanoprobes at the single-cell level.
* High-Impedance Instrumentation: Utilize high-precision interfaces, such as the EMF16 Precision Electrochemistry Interface with High Impedance Options, to capture low-level signals from cellular environments.
* Nanoscale Sensing: Design and characterize electrochemical sensors at the nanoscale (nanoprobes) for intracellular or pericellular monitoring.
* Data Acquisition: Manage complex data streams originating from automated single-cell experiments.
Requirements:
* PhD in Analytical Chemistry, electrochemistry, Nanotechnology, Bioengineering, or a related field.
* Expertise in Nanoelectrochemistry: Specific experience working with nanoprobes or nanoelectrodes.
* Technical Proficiency: Familiarity with high-impedance measurement systems and precision electrochemistry equipment.
* Automation Skills: Interest or experience in the automation of analytical processes or microscopy-related positioning.
What We Offer:
* Position: Full-time Postdoctoral Researcher.
* Duration: Temporary contract associated with the project timeline.
* Location: UCAM HiTech, Murcia, Spain—a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to chemical sensing.
* Environment: Access to cutting-edge technology and a vibrant international research atmosphere.
