Postdoctoral Scientist(s) in In Vitro Diagnostics, Electrochemistry / Electronic Engineering

Dr Daniel A. Richards and Professor Andrew J. deMello, in the Institute for Chemical and Bioengineering at ETH Zürich, are searching for two postdoctoral researchers to develop a diagnostic device for multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-MTB). The aim is to develop and evaluate a simple, portable, and affordable device for diagnosing MDR-MTB at the point-of-care. This work is funded as part of a SNSF BRIDGE Discovery grant, and you would work as part of a multiinstitutional consortium, including the Swiss Centre for Microelectronics (CSEM), the Swiss Tropical Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH), and the National Centre for Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (NCTLD) in Tblisi, Georgia. The first position will be filled by someone with a background in electrochemical biosensing, particular those with experience combining molecular biology and electrochemistry. The second position will be filled by someone with a background in electrical engineering and device development....
