PhD student position: quantum sensing of biomolecules and their chemical stimuli.

vor 5 Monaten


Basel, Schweiz The Biozentrum, University of Basel Vollzeit

Your position



In this interdisciplinary PhD project, you will: Build an optically-detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectrometer based on state-of-the-art equipment. Detect single particles and single photons to establish new fluorescence readouts. Develop a range of biocompatible experiments to detect protein molecules and their chemical stimuli. This work will yield key steps towards single-molecule NMR of biomolecules based on our progress in optical quantum sensing with NV centers. This is a full-time position, and a project we ideally want to start in the first half of 2025.

Your profile

Prior experience in several of these areas is desired:

Optics and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques, Quantum sensing, ideally using color centers, Single-molecule experiments and interpretation, Advanced data analysis, coding, modeling, machine learning.
Essential requirements:

MSc degree in physics or physical-chemistry with excellent grades, High motivation and curiosity about fundamental questions and method development, Independent analytical thinking and systematic work style, Excellent experimental problem-solving skills and perseverance, Great team player proficient in English (speaking & writing).
