Multiple PhD positions on "Single Cell Proteome Profiling"

at  ETH Zrich

JOB DESCRIPTION

• You will be developing a platform for the detection of protein production and secretion in single cells. An example of application is to study antibody secretion in immune cells upon their activation
• You will be optimizing recently established scanning nanopore microscope for specific detection of proteins in complex physiological solutions, addressing these open research challenges:
• Specificity of the sensor towards selected proteins: Enhancing the contrast for specific proteins
• Data analysis: Improving data analysis approaches for capturing more information from each individual protein
• Sampling from single cells: Developing methods for better sampling from individual cells, and handling of small volume samples
• You will be collaborating with colleagues from the machine learning domain to improve data analysis
• You will be responsible for project meetings, reporting, scientific publications, and conference/seminar presentations
• You will supervise master/bachelor students
