Are you a driven and innovative researcher eager to push the boundaries of virus-host interaction studies? Join our dynamic team to lead a groundbreaking project that combines Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Optical Tweezers (OT) to probe virus-host interactions on live cells. We are developing a unique platform that leverages these advanced techniques, and we are looking for a researcher with a background in OT to contribute to our mission.

Project Overview:
This project focuses on advancing our understanding of virus-host interactions at the molecular level by integrating state-of-the-art OT and AFM techniques to explore live-cell dynamics.

Key Qualifications:

  • A Ph.D. in experimental physics, physical chemistry, chemical biology, biophysics, or a related field.
  • Proven experience with Optical Tweezers (OT).
  • Strong communication skills in English.
  • A record of scientific publications.

Desirable Experience (not required but beneficial):

  • Background in Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), 3D cell culture, or virus-host cell interactions.

Application Requirements:
Please submit a single PDF file containing:

  1. A cover letter detailing your motivation for this position,
  2. Your CV, including a list of publications, and
  3. Contact information for two references (names and email addresses).

We Offer:

  • A full-time employment contract for 24 months.
