PhD Positions: "Tunable EC-QCLs for PTS based protein sensing"
Are you a physicist, photonics expert, or laser enthusiast eager to tackle real-world problems? Join the EU MSCA Joint doctoral network PROTEMIC (“Integrated Spectroscopy for Protein Analysis Using Metasurfaces and Interband/Quantum Cascade Devices”) that is dedicated to using mid-IR lasers, photonic integrated circuits, and advanced spectroscopy to unlock the secrets of proteins. With world-class labs, industry partners, and dual degrees, PROTEMIC is your gateway to scientific impact and career acceleration. This position starts at IAF and is co-hosted by INSUCAPS LTD (Cork, Ireland)
Each PhD student will conduct their work at two different institutions, moving to the co-host after ~2 years.
What you will do
The work at IAF focuses on assembly, in-depth characterization and optimization of External Cavity Quantum Cascade Lasers (EC-QCLs) regarding the requirements of different measurement techniques to be developed in PROTEMIC. During the second stage at INSUCAPS, the EC-QCL will be applied to study protein denaturation processes. Details on the Projects and the PROTEMIC network can be found at: https://www.protemic.eu
