Research Associate (m/f/d) with the possibility of a doctoral degree for studies on self-assembling proteins for nano and microstructured surface modifications

The position is initially limited for a period of three years and serves to promote a scientific qualification (PhD). The remuneration is based on salary group 13 TV-L.

In the frame of international cooperation, you will work on an interdisciplinary project positioned between protein modification, processing, and tissue scaffold engineering. Main objective of this study is to extend the protein self-assembly to the realm of surface modification in order to create nano- and microstructured protein patterns which are applicable in preparation cell arrays and micro tissue engineering.

Your profile:

Completed studies (master or diploma) in the field of polymer or biomedical engineering biochemistry, polymer chemistry or a related field with an excellent degree
Profound knowledge in biochemical methods or methods on polymer processing
Knowledge in surface processing is an advantage
Excellent command of written and spoken English
Ability to work in a team, communication skills and the ability to work independently

What you can expect:

We offer an exciting and challenging research environment with scientific support and in-depth training in your field. You will be part of a cross-border research project and work closely with research institutions and SMEs. In addition, the Bayreuth Graduate School for Mathematics and Natural Sciences (www.baynat.uni-bayreuth.de/en) and the University of Bayreuth Graduate School offer excellent conditions for a PhD.
