PhD positions via application track II

Prof. Beatrix Süß from the Biology department at TU Darmstadt is offering a PhD position for the Doctoral Network SYNSENSO “Cell-free synthetic biology for combinatorial biosensor design”, funded within the framework of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). The network follows an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approach by bringing together academic and industrial experts from the fields of cell-free synthetic biology and molecular sensor design to develop novel combinatorial biosensors.

Five academic research groups and two industrial partners, coordinated by Technische Universität Darmstadt in Germany, join forces in SYNSENSO to create a mobility and training platform for young scientists through cross-site, interdisciplinary research projects. Please see our website www.synsenso.eu for the full team.

SYNSENSO started already in 09/2022. Now one PhD positions has to be re-filled for the following project:

Design and optimization of analyte-responsive ribozymes

The goal of the project is to increase the sensitivity and specificity in the detection of analyte molecules through optimized ribozymes. Thereby, in vitro selection and screening will be used to enable faster and more cost-effective identification of sensor domains (aptamers) and suitable linker sequences
