Description du poste

Your mission :
The BIOnanophotonic Systems (BIOS) laboratory at EPFL Switzerland (headed by Prof. Hatice Altug) is looking for a talented & motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on the development of cutting-edge nanophotonic biosensors and bioimaging platforms for diagnostic applications.

Main duties and responsibilities include :
In a well-established laboratory, the postdoctoral researcher will explore to introduce new biosensing and imaging systems. Anticipated tasks include preparing a research plan, designing and nanofabricating nanophotonic chips, reconfiguring optical imaging set-ups and point-of-care devices through incorporation of novel microscopy and spectroscopy concepts, microfluidics integration, optimizing bioassays, handling biological samples, performing optical/biological experiments, data analysis, reporting and disseminating research outcome. The project will involve collaboration with University of Lausanne (Department of Immunobiology) and Lausanne Hospital and AGORA Cancer Research Center.
