Two PhD positions in the field of Lab-on-Chip Technology are available from January 1st, 2009, at the ETH Zurich. Lab-on-Chip Technology is an emerging field in bioanalytical and chemical research, opening novel and exciting opportunities for biological and medical applications. The goals within the project are the formation of simple cell models and sensors by means of micro- and nanotechnologies. The combination of biological and technological issues is a central aspect of the project. A possible candidate should have strong disposition to learn and improve novel methods, and should be very open to different research disciplines. We offer the successful candidates an intellectually challenging position in the inspiring atmosphere of an interdisciplinary team, and the prospect to obtain a PhD degree from ETH Zurich.
