Job advertisement No. 005 / 2018
At the Institute of Physical Chemistry and Polymer Physics (Division Nanostructured Materials), research group Polymer
Micro(bio)reactors / ThieleLab
- subject to the financial allocation -
PhD position (m/f):
Multi-material design for micro-stereolithography
for cell biology and cell-free biotechnology
We are part of the
DFG Graduate School 1865, an interdisciplinary network of research groups from TU Dresden
and Leibniz IPF Dresden developing novel hydrogel-based microsystems. Here, the ThieleLab (
https://thielelab.com) focuses on the design of multifunctional polymer materials as experimental platform for processes
and functions in biotechnology and cell biology.
Work task:
The PhD position is devoted to develop switchable 4D materials by additive manufacturing. In a holistic approach,
the candidate will synthesize tailored resins, process these by novel 3D-printing tools to yield complex polymer structures
(
„From resins to components“). Yearly summer schools organized by the GRK will deepen the candidate’s expertise in bioand material sciences as well as engineering.
Suitable candidates with a master degree in chemistry, engineering (or similar) are skilled in:
- (Photo-)polymer synthesis
- Additive manufacturing based on stereolithography (e.g. Envisiontec P4 Mini, Cerafab 7500, Asiga Pico2)
Experience in AutoCAD and LabVIEW as well as COMSOL Multiphysics is a plus. It is expected that the applicant shows excellent communication skills in English - German is an asset.
Starting date: 01.04.2018 Duration: 31.03.2021
Salary: According to German pay grade TV-L EG 13 (65 %)
