The samlab, an interdisciplinary research group at the University of Bern and UDEM at the University Hospital Bern, led by Prof. Dr. Lilian Witthauer, is seeking a talented and highly motivated postdoctoral researcher. Our lab focuses on advancing novel sensing technologies in diabetes research and beyond.
Our group is looking to hire a postdoctoral researcher to lead the efforts to develop a new multi-metabolite sensor based on Aggregation-induced Emission Generating Molecules (AIEgens). Your responsibilities will encompass synthesizing novel sensing materials, conducting in vitro evaluations through spectroscopic methods, and independently managing a research project. You will be at the forefront of designing experiments, analyzing results, and presenting your findings at conferences and in reputable journals. Additionally, you will play a vital role in overseeing and guiding students within the laboratory. The position will require travel to collaborators in the USA; thus, applicants must be citizens or nationals of a country that can participate in the Visa Waiver Program or similar.

- Oversee and coordinate daily activities of the projects including design and implementation of experimental protocols.
- Supervision of students (Master and doctoral degree)
- Summarize relevant data for presentation at national and international meetings
- Collaborate with partners in the USA, requiring periodic travel
**Requirements**:
- PhD degree in organic chemistry.
- Strong research background in organic synthesis, preferably experience with synthesis of luminescent sensing molecules (porphyrins, AIEgens).
- Proven publication record, including first-author publications.
- Highly motivated, creative problem solver and team player.
- Excellent communication skills in English.
- Willingness to collaborate in a highly interdisciplinary team.
- Citizenship or nationality of a country that qualifies for the US Visa Waiver Program (due to travel requirements to the USA) or similar
We offer
