Biosensor Specialist (m/f/x) at Nanogami

We are pioneering the next-generation biochip for research, diagnostics, and personalized medicine. Our biochip platform offers ultra-high feature density, modularity, and adaptability to integrate and enhance sequencing, transcriptomics, and proteomics applications. To realize this vision, SPRIND - Germany's Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation funds Nanogami as one of six projects for the next five years.

Tasks

Role Overview:

We are looking for a driven Biosensor Specialist (m/f/x) to work on a novel nanotechnology application as part of an interdisciplinary team. You will develop models and simulations of the processes involved in the placement of single molecules and advanced sensing capabilities using DNA Origami nanostructures (e.g. modelling of experimental adsorption rates using the random sequential adsorption model (RSA)). Your work will directly lead to impactful real-world uses.

What you will do:

• Develop physical models of surface interactions of DNA nanostructures in solution
• Develop and analyze molecular simulations of DNA nanostructures
• Research and develop placement of DNA nanostructures on surfaces
• Closely collaborate with experimental scientists to guide research and development and to understand underlying processes
• Work with an interdisciplinary team to develop the next generation of biochip

Requirements

• PhD or equivalent experience, with a focus on nano biosensor modelling or simulations, statistical physics and/ or thermodynamics
• Expertise in simulations or modelling - for example for Ion atmospheres around biomolecules and surfaces, Electrostatic interactions between charged particles/surfaces or Surface adsorption of biomolecules#
• Theoretical understanding of polyelectrolyte behavior
• Preferred: Experience in simulations or modelling of molecular self-assembly or colloid dynamics
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Creative, proactive, and results-oriented
• Fluent in English

Benefits

• A supportive team
• Diverse and challenging tasks in a fast-growing startup
• Join an interdisciplinary and driven team
• Develop innovative technology with direct real-world impact
• Above-average remuneration

We look forward to receiving your application.
