Nanoscale Imaging Scientist for Neurodegenerative Disease Detection
vor 2 Wochen
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at Empa, a research institution of the ETH Domain. As a nanoscale imaging scientist, you will be responsible for developing innovative approaches and new methods for data analysis aimed at chemically classifying pathological protein aggregates in blood from patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
About the ProjectThe project focuses on decoding the role of protein aggregation in neurodegenerative disease progression using nanoscale analytics. You will work closely with neurologists at the University Hospital Zurich to analyze blood samples from patients at various stages of decline in memory and cognition. Your tasks will include resolving, identifying, and classifying pathological proteins in blood using label-free nanoscale imaging and chemical spectroscopy.
About the RoleTo succeed in this role, you will need 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. You should also have experience working with atomic force microscopy combined with one or more of the following chemical spectroscopy techniques: Raman, IR, fluorescence. Additionally, you should have experience conducting studies on the role of protein aggregation in neurodegenerative disease progression and working in biosafety level 2 laboratory settings.
About EmpaEmpa is a leading research institution that drives innovation and sustainability through cutting-edge research. Our employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society, and we offer a stimulating research environment with an excellent infrastructure in chemical spectroscopies and nanoscale imaging techniques.
