Applications are invited for a temporary position of Post Doctoral Fellow at IIT Gandhinagar.

The above research topic is interdisciplinary, covering the broad spectrum of Chemical Engineering, material science and biotechnology. This work requires the selected candidate to synthesise advanced nanomaterials, prepare sensing electrodes, functionalise aptamers/​antibodies on electrodes, and electrochemically detect biomolecules. The candidate will frequently use various analytical instruments (SEM, XRD, FTIR, etc.) to validate and characterise electrode materials, as well as various electrochemical analysers for detection. Finally, the candidate will demonstrate the performance of the biosensor for cancer biomarkers. In addition to performing research responsibilities, the candidate will also work on developing the laboratory.

1 year (can be renewed depending on the extension criteria)

BTech/​BE/​PhD degree in biotechnology, biosensing technology, nanotechnology, chemical engineering, electrochemical analysis and allied topics from a reputed institute with an excellent scientific publication record in the area of biosensing. The candidates who have submitted their thesis and are available to join immediately are also eligible to apply.

The percentage/​grade points with respect to the academic qualifications should be a minimum of 60% or equivalent grade from Graduation onward and 55% or equivalent grade in class 10^th and 12^th.

Desirable:

• Hands-on working experience in biosensing,
• Experience in handling electrochemical systems
• Experience in handling aptamer, enzyme, protein
• Strong scientific communication, presentation and writing skills
