PhD Nanobioreactors
Start date: April 2012
Supervisors: Professor Anthony PF Turner and Dr. Ashutosh Tiwari

Intelligent nanobioreactors for auto-switchable bio-catalysis

Applications are invited for a 4-year salaried PhD position to study the design and development of novel auto-switchable nanobioreactors to produce positively responding nano-surfaces by creating unique “zipper” nanoarchitectures. The zipper consists of a polymeric donor branch and a polymeric receptor branch, which will be rationally assembled based on a stoichiometric donor-receptor interaction. Model reactions, with applications in both analysis (e.g. biosensors) and energy production, (e.g. biological fuel cells) will be studied as proof-of-principle platforms in the areas of bioanalysis and biocatalysis.

The position is sponsored by the Swedish Research Council, the principal research funding agency in Sweden, and will be carried out in the Biosensors and Bioelectronics Centre, which is a division within the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology at Linköping University, Sweden URL: www.ifm.liu.se/biosensors

This studentship is available from April 2012. There are no tuition fees and the position is salaried  (~Euro 30,000 subject to tax). Applicants should have master degree or equivalent in Biotechnology/ Chemistry/ Biochemistry/ Physics or a related discipline.

Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr. Ashutosh Tiwari (+46 (0) 13 282395; ashutosh.tiwari@liu.se) or Prof. Anthony PF Turner, anthony.turner@liu.se.
