The Wildau University of Applied Sciences (Group Biosystems Technology, Prof. F. Lisdat, www.tfh-wildau.de/lisdat) in Germany are looking for a
scientific co-worker (post doc)
in the framework of a project supported by the German Ministry for Education and Research on the development of a rapid detection system for bioanalysis. The aim of the project is the investigation of different polymers, polymer-protein interactions and the use of such systems for analytical purposes. The work will comprise the areas of enzymology, biotechnology and sensors. It is focused on studies of enzyme electrodes and the characterisation of these layered structures by means of electrochemical and optical methods.
We are looking for graduates in chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology or other related fields of natural sciences who have finished phd and who would like to work interdisciplinary. The project will last for 3 years and the payment is according to the general regulations in the public area in Germany (TVL13). The position is open from November 2010.
Applications please send to:

Applications are invited for the above post as part of an EPSRC-funded collaborative UK-US research programme, which aims to use synchrotron x-ray methods to study the growth of nanoparticles. You will be based in Manchester, but this post offers the opportunity for extensive travel to synchrotron laboratories, in the UK (Diamond Light Source in Oxfordshire), the US (Advanced Photon Source) and France (ESRF, Grenoble).
You should hold or be about to obtain a PhD qualification in physical chemistry, surface science or a closely related field. You should have experience of x-ray synchrotron techniques, ideally x-ray absorption methods, and associated data analysis. Some knowledge of electrochemical techniques and other structure/surface characterisation techniques, such as electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction is also desirable.
You will be a highly capable, motivated and independent researcher who is able to interface between the research groups collaborating in this project (which will also support research staff based in the US). You will be expected to take a leading role in the Dryfe research group including organising group meetings, presenting findings at international conferences and drafting manuscripts for publication throughout the appointment.
The post is funded for three years and is available from 1 September 2010.
National Insitute for Materials Science (NIMS)
and Graduate School of Chemistry
have a joint graduate program and students will be provided with a monthly stipend of 190,000 yen/month as NIMS Junior Researchers (JRs). Students belong to Hokkaido University in Sapporo but carry out research at NIMS, Tsukuba. http://www.nims.go.jp/hokudai/chem/nims_GRA_en.html
Interfacial Energy Conversion Materials Chemistry Lab.headed by Prof. Uosaki (http://pchem.sci.hokudai.ac.jp/index_E.html) is looking for 2 Junior Research Fellows starting their Ph. D. studies from either October, 2010 or April, 2011.
Those who are interested in electrochemical energy conversion, photoelectrochemistry, electrochemical surface science, non-linear spectroscopy, interfacial electron transfer dynamics, and other related subjects are welcome.
Since the deadline is June 4, 2010, please contact soon:
