芬兰图尔库大学（芬兰语：Turun yliopisto；瑞典语：Åbo universitet），是芬兰著名的综合性多学科大学之一。该校成立于1920年，1974年大学改为公立。现任芬兰总统即毕业于该校，基本授课语言为芬兰语。按照其正式注册学生的数量来说，图尔库大学是芬兰规模第三的大学，仅次于赫尔辛基大学和阿尔托大学。图尔库大学提供本科、硕士和博士层次的高等教育，其授课语言主要为芬兰语，但为了吸引国际留学生，图尔库大学还开设了一部分用英语授课的专业。

Postdoctoral researcher in the field of biomedical interfaces

University of Turku

Postdoctoral researcher in the field of biomedical interfaces

The University of Turku is a world-class multidisciplinary research university that offers interesting challenges and a unique vantage point to national and international research and education. University of Turku is extending its research to materials and mechanical engineering, and from the beginning of 2021, a Faculty of Technology was started and within it Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. We are now looking for

1 postdoctoral researcher in the field of biomedical interfaces to join the group of Materials in Health Technology lead by Assoc. Prof. Emilia Peltola.

The position is fixed-term and the starting time for this position would be as soon as possible according to mutual agreementand the contract duration will be until 31.8.2026.

If you are interested in exploring the biomedical interfaces, you belong to our team! In this position, you will have a unique opportunity to apply basic understanding of materials chemistry and physics and interfacial science for improving sensor technologies for health care. Improved sensor technologies will be a crucial modulator in changing disease-focused health care to preventive health care. The current focus of the research group is on developing nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensors for the detection of neurotransmitters, hormones and malaria. We aim to control the electrochemical performance, the electrode fouling, and the host response directly with the electrode material. Therefore, we are looking for individuals that can take initiatives and have experience in aptasensors and/or electrochemistry.

Requirements

We require good knowledge of aptamers and/or electrochemistry. We are looking for a best fit for the ongoing project focusing on biohybrid carbon nanomaterials for the detection of female hormones. Fluent oral and written communication skills in English are required in this position.

The postdoctoral researcher is required to have a doctoral degree in a related field (e.g. Material Science, Chemistry, Physics, Biotechnology) before the end of the application period.

The qualification requirements of the positions are stated in the University of Turku Rules of Procedure: https: // www. utu.fi/en/university/organisation

We offer

The Unit of Materials Engineering offers a young and dynamic community. We support team players to reach their best potential and we give the opportunity to develop your professional skills in a diverse operating environment. We support your efforts for reaching excellence and we are committed to taking care of your well-being at work and the functionality of your daily life, e.g. flexible working hours and our welfare services.

The salaries are determined in accordance with the university salary system for teaching and research personnel. For a postdoctoral researcher the salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience based on the University salary system and will at the beginning of the employment be approximately 33403530 欧元/month.
