LOOKING FOR POST-DOCTORAL AND DOCTORAL RESEARCHERS WORKING ON
NANOPHOTONIC BIOSENSORS

The Nanophotonics Technology Center at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain) is looking for candidates to
apply for 1 post-doctoral and 1-2 doctoral positions. These positions are in the framework of the H2020-ICT-SAPHELY
project (Self-amplified photonic biosensing platform for microRNA-based early diagnosis of diseases) to start in 2015.
This project is focused on the development of a nanophotonic-based lab-on-a-chip analysis device for its use in the
diagnosis of cancer through the detection of specific microRNA biomarkers. This device will make use of photonic
bandgap structures as sensing elements.
 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR POST-DOCTORAL POSITION
 Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree related with the topic of the proposed work (e.g., Electrical Engineering,
Telecommunications, Applied Physics, etc.).
 He/she must have a strong background in the targeted topic, which will be mainly demonstrated through a
strong record of research accomplishments, including publications in top ranked journals, participation in ECfunded
research projects, and international research experience (e.g., research stays carried out at different
research institutions).
 The candidate must have strong technical skills focused on the experimental characterization/development of
photonic biosensors, including the optical characterization of planar photonic devices and the practical
implementation of analysis procedures (e.g., reagents handling, use of (micro)fluidic components, automation of
experimental procedures, etc.), as well as an appropriate practical knowledge of bio-functionalization and bioassay
procedures implementation.
 Strong skills related with research management activities are also considered, including coordination of research
activities (e.g., leading of a work package in a project), presenting work progress at conferences and meetings,
supervision of PhD students, and elaboration of reports and project proposals.
 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR DOCTORAL POSITIONS
 Candidates must hold a MSc degree (or equivalent) related with the topic of the proposed work (e.g., Electrical
Engineering, Telecommunications, Applied Physics, etc.). The candidate must have an excellent academic record.
 He/she must have previous practical experience related with photonics (e.g., experimental characterization of
photonic structures, design of photonic structures, automation of optical measurements, etc.). Specific
experience in biosensing is highly desirable.
 OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR POST-DOCTORAL AND DOCTORAL POSITIONS
Cooperation, interpersonal and communication skills will also be considered.
 JOB CONDITIONS
For both positions, we offer a 1 year contract which can be extended by up to 2 additional years.
An initial annual salary in the range of:
 25.000 EUR for the postdoctoral position
 17.000 EUR for the doctoral positionValencia Nanophotonics Technology Center ћ Universitat Politècnica de València

 APPLICATION TO THE POSITIONS
Interested candidates must send:
 A detailed CV, including a list of your publications
 A summarized CV, where the candidate must select and briefly describe the top 5-7 merits of his/her CV (max. 2
pages) (optional for doctoral candidates)
 A cover letter describing his/her profile, interests and goals (max. 1 page)
 Name and contact information of at least two reference persons.
Application must be sent to Dr. Jaime García (jaigarru@ntc.upv.es) and Isabel Salas (misalas@ntc.upv.es) until 15
January 2015.
