Job Description

Chalmers University of Technology is looking to hire a postdoc for a minimum of two years, with the possibility of a one-year extension, to work on single-nanoparticle microscopy using a planar optical waveguide structure.

The current project focuses on advancing a surface-sensitive, label-free waveguide scattering microscopy (WGSM) platform for nanoparticle characterization in advanced therapies.

The research aims to further develop a clean-room-fabricated planar waveguide chip capable of generating a surface-confined evanescent field for detecting and characterizing biological nanoparticles such as lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), extracellular vesicles (EVs), viruses, and other nanoscale drug delivery vehicles. The aim is to:

  • integrate advanced optical modulation (polarization and multi-wavelength excitation) in to the current waveguide chip settings.
  • further develope microfluidics for controlled fluidic exchange allowing for kinetic measurements
  • ...
