Description
Description
The DFG Research Training Group (RTG) 2723 Materials‐Microbes‐Microenvironments (M‐M‐M): Antimicrobial biomaterials with tailored structures and properties, at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany, combines expertise in materials, life, medical, optical and computational sciences to develop ground-braking and highly innovative antimicrobial biomaterials for the prevention of biomaterials-associated infections (BAI). This will be approached by six interdisciplinary PhD tandem projects, each with two doctoral researchers (DRs) working on complementary materials science and medical/life science aspects of these questions in each project, with one materials scientist and one medical/life science professional working as team supervisors. Friedrich Schiller University (FSU) and Jena University Hospital (UKJ) closely cooperate within the RTG. Our full spectrum of excellent expertise in materials science and life sciences will be leveraged to address the critical issues of novel antimicrobial biomaterials in a collaborative spirit. The affiliated early career programs of the RTG, Jena School for Microbial Communication (JSMC) and Jena Graduate Academy offer ambitious, structured and interdisciplinary post-graduate training based on top-level basic and applied research.
A research group of the RTG M-M-M invite applications for a Researcher Position in Materials Science to conduct research and training in the development of novel antimicrobial materials and their biological/medical compatibility and reactions. Commencing on 1 February 2025 or later, the position is for up to 4 years. This is a full time (100%) position.
The doctoral researcher will work in the following interdisciplinary tandem project (materials science & life sciences):
Project A1: Switchable antimicrobial materials (Prof. Dr. K. D. Jandt (FSU))
