The Biomedical Research Institute (BIOMED) of Hasselt University has a position available for a PhD Student for the project “Development and Characterisation of Fluorescent Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Nanotechnology and Applications in Advanced Electronic Devices, Chemo- and Bio-sensors”. This project runs in close collaboration with the Institute for Materials Research (IMO).
The duration of the position is 2×2 years, with an assessment after 2 years.
The PhD student will conduct research in the field of molecular imprinted polymers (MIP) which will be used as building blocks for chemo and biosensors. Conjugated polymers exhibit specific fluorescence characteristics. The project focuses on the changes in fluorescence induced by the target molecule upon binding with the MIP embedded in a matrix of conjugated polymers. The project comprises the study of the underlying mechanism of the observed changes and the design of a specific sensor.
Diploma and profile
Master degree (or equivalent) in either physics, chemistry, biomedical sciences, bio-engineer, engineer in physics, engineer in chemistry or civil engineer. Students in their final year can also apply. The candidate must master either the Dutch or the English language.
