EU Marie-Curie PhD Student Opening: Developing Single-Cell Technologies for Systems Biology

We have an opening for a PhD student in a 3-year research training program (EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network) in a consortium of institutions from the public and private sector. The student will work in the field of microtechnology and microfluidics. The central activity includes the development of microfluidic devices that allow for single-cell cultivation under controllable environmental conditions and that feature the capability to perform single-cell handling as well as options for subsequent transfer to off-chip analysis techniques (microscopy, mass spectrometry). A suitable candidate should hold a master’s degree in engineering or physics. He should have experience in microtechnology and cleanroom work, knowledge in data evaluation and processing (basic programming skills), and he should be familiar with cell handling techniques and cell biology. The successful candidate will participate in a research training program of an EU-funded Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) and will work in a highly interactive international environment with other Marie-Curie PhD students, researchers (Gothenburg, Oxford, Groningen etc.), and industry.
(Information on research: http://www.bsse.ethz.ch/bel/research/CellHandling)

Important note: Eligibility to the Marie-Curie ITN scheme includes that the candidate has not spent more than 12 months in Switzerland in the 3 years immediately preceding his appointment for this position. Candidates from EU countries are preferred.
