Dübendorf, Zürich, Schweiz EMPA Vollzeit
Postdoctoral Position in Nanoscale Detection of Neurodegenerative Diseases

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology. The successful candidate will contribute to cutting-edge research projects focused on nanoscale imaging and chemical spectroscopy for the detection of neurodegenerative diseases.


About the Project

The project aims to develop novel approaches for the detection of pathological protein aggregates in blood using label-free nanoscale imaging and chemical spectroscopy techniques. The researcher will work closely with neurologists at the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland, where patients will be recruited for the study.


Your Responsibilities
  • Conduct studies on the role of protein aggregation in neurodegenerative disease progression using atomic force microscopy and chemical spectroscopy techniques (Raman, IR, fluorescence).
  • Develop innovative approaches and new methods for data analysis aimed at chemically classifying pathological protein aggregates in blood from patients at various stages of decline in memory and cognition.
  • Collaborate with the research team to design and conduct experiments, collect and analyze data, and publish research findings.

About Empa

Empa is a leading research institution in the field of materials science and technology, with a strong focus on sustainability and innovation. Our team consists of around 1,100 employees from diverse backgrounds, working together to create added value for society.


Requirements

We seek a highly motivated candidate with a Ph.D. degree in experimental biophysics or a closely related discipline, with experience in application of chemical spectroscopy for protein analytics and morphological characterization of biomolecules in body fluids.


What We Offer

We offer a stimulating research environment with excellent infrastructure in chemical spectroscopies and nanoscale imaging techniques. The position is available for a duration of two years, with a possible extension to a third year maximum, and will be available as of April 2025 or upon agreement.


A competitive salary range is CHF 65,000 - 85,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications. Benefits include a comprehensive health insurance package, retirement savings plan, and paid vacation time.
