Post-doctoral positions in single molecule spectroscopy and plasmonics atIstituto Italiano di Tecnologia

The Plasmon Nanotechnologies Research Line ad Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia is seeking a highly motivated candidate with lab experience in the field of optical spectroscopy and plasmonics. In particular, the ideal candidate should have experience in optical spectroscopy and single molecule spectroscopies in the Visible range. A robust background in Optics is required, whereas expertise in plasmonics and/or DNA will be considered a plus. The research topic regards the DNA manipulation by plasmonic nanoparticles and single molecule sequencing by enhanced spectroscopy. Within the project activity, a strong collaboration with foreign collaborators/laboratories is foreseen.

The appointed post doc will be in charge of investigating and optimizing novel approaches for DNA cut and single molecule spectroscopy of biomolecules by interactions with noble metal nanostructures. The European Community through a Horizon 2020-FET project finances the postdoc position within the International consortium I-Gene – In vivo Gene Editing by NanotransducErs – G.A. n 862714

The successful candidates will define part of the research program together with the group leader, will be part of an international team and could have the opportunity of supervising PhD students. The highly interdisciplinary research environment at IIT provides access to state-of-the-art optical spectroscopy labs, clean room facility, scanning probe spectroscopy, electron microscopy and computer clusters.
