Highlights:
1. The Polymer Chemistry and Bioengineering group within the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, invites applications for several Postdoctoral and PhD Student Positions in the field of bioorganic hybrid materials for diagnostics and drug delivery.
2. Two 2-year postdoctoral positions and two PhD student positions are available from October 2009 to investigate the properties of DNA/synthetic polymer hybrid materials. These bioorganic structures that are fabricated by methods from organic and polymer chemistry as well as techniques from molecular biology are examined for several applications including (i) programmable polymeric membranes, (ii) diagnostic devices with high sensitivity and selectivity for biomolecule analytes, and (iii) drug delivery vehicles for small molecular weight drugs and biologicals like siRNA.
