The laboratory of Single-Molecule and Single-Cell Biophysics (BMC) is a research group in the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (D-ITET) at ETH Zürich led by Prof. Morteza Aramesh. We work in close collaboration with the Laboratory of Biosensors and Bioelectronics (LBB) led by Prof. Janos Vörös.

The BMC group focuses on developing technologies that enable single-molecule and single-cell studies, merging engineering and biophysics to address important biological questions at single-cell level and with a much higher temporal and spatial sensitivity compared to the existing methods. We explore cellular processes like protein secretion and how immune cells combat diseases through their protein repertoire. Our research aims to create devices for monitoring cellular processes, with a particular interest in fluidic devices for sorting and characterizing proteins in low quantities and volumes, secreted from single cells.

Collaborating with immunologists and proteomics experts, we apply our knowledge to emerging applications, including cell-based therapies to fight cancer and infectious diseases.  Additionally, we collaborate with colleagues in our department to implement machine learning to improve data analysis and protein characterization, and with the Functional Genomics Center Zurich for advanced proteomics studies.

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in an ERC-funded project focused on developing fluidic devices for protein sorting and ionization. The position is originally for 2 years with possibility for extention. The position will remain open until a suitable candidate is found. 

• Conduct cuttting edge research in desing and implementation of fluidic devices for protein sorting 
• Keep up to date with relevant literature to recognize potential new avenues of research (research with innovation potential will receive strong support )
• Be independent in planning, executing, writing/communicating, and presenting your research 
• Produce multiple high-level publications
• Continue and expand the project(s) with support from Masters/PhD students
• Assist in attracting BSc/MSc students to the lab and mentoring their projects
• Participate in social activities of the group

Successful candidates should have

• Ideal candidates hold a relevant PhD degree and background in Biophysics, Chemical or Materials engineering or a related discipline.  
• Solid working knowledge in micro/nano fluidic device development.  
• Hands-on experience in protein sorting and/or ionization is an asset.  
• Team player, ambitious, and motivated to learn and make a difference through device development for protein analysis.
