Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum Stiftung des öffentlichen Rechts - Smart Technologies for Tumor Therapy

In summer of 2019, the DKFZ founded Germany's first DKFZ external site in Dresden. In Dresden, the DKFZ, together with the Excellence University of Dresden and its University Medicine Department, also maintains sites of the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) and the German Consortium for Translational Cancer Research (DKTK). The DKFZ site Dresden is to be established to develop innovative technology-based approaches for tumor diagnostics and therapy as well as a contact point for prevention. With its high-tech profile, Dresden offers an excellent environment for this.

Ph. D. researcher (f/m/d)
in Microsystems Engineering/Microelectronics/Microfabrication
to work on
Wireless Micro-sensors for Biomedical Applications

The Department “Smart Technologies for Tumor Therapy” (Prof. Tian Qiu) at the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) Site Dresden and the Technical University Dresden has two openings.

Working field:

Tasks: The aim of the project is to design, model, fabricate and test a wireless micro-sensor, which uses magnetic fields for sensing in biological soft tissues. For further information, please visit the research group’s website (https://www.dkfz.de/en/smart-technologies-tumortherapie/index.php) and contact Prof. Tian Qiu. Feel free to send informal inquiries. The project is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant VIBEBOT.

Specific tasks for the researcher include:

  • Micro-fabrication in the cleanroom
  • Simulation of mechanics and magnetic fields
  • Build mechatronic systems and data acquisition systems
  • Application of the sensors for tumor diagnostics
  • Teaching assistance and supervision of students

Requirements:

A doctoral degree in Engineering, Applied Physics or relevant subjects is required. An interest or experience in the fields of microsystem engineering, microdevices and microfluidics, soft biomaterials characterization and modeling, wireless actuation schemes are preferred. The successful candidate should be self-motivated and possess excellent English skills, also, be open to discuss new ideas in an interdisciplinary team and be flexible to apply various experimental methods.
