PhD Studentships in Nanoscience of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Material Science, and related

The Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) at the University of Basel invites highly motivated scientists to apply for the SNI PhD program in Nanoscience. The eight successful PhD candidates will join an attractive interdisciplinary programme together with the ~30 currently supported scientists. The available positions cover a wide variety of topics, including cutting edge quantum physics and chemistry, material science, nanotechnology, biochemistry and cell biology.

 

Your position

The following projects are available:

• Bioinspired nanoscale drug delivery systems for efficient targeting and safe in vivo application
• From Schrödinger's equation to biology: Unsupervised quantum machine learning for directed evolution of anti-adhesive peptides
• Nanoscale mechanical energy dissipation in quantum systems and 2D-materials
• Picoscopic mass analysis of mammalian cells progressing through the cell cycle
• High-throughput multiplexed microuidics for antimicrobial drug discovery
• Image the twist!
• Andreev Spin Qubit (ASQ) in GeSi Nanowires
• Quantum dynamics of an ultracold ion coupled to a nanomechanical oscillator
