"Postdoctoral Researcher in development of plasmonic nanopore for single molecule sequencing by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)"

Postdoctoral Researcher in development of plasmonic nanopore for single molecule sequencing by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)

Full-time position under supervision by Assistant Professor Jian-An Huang who has expertise in single-molecule SERS analysis of biomolecules and plasmonic nanopore fabrication.

Project description

The postdoctoral researcher will work in the EIC Pathfinder OPEN project: “Plasmonic nanopore technologies for automatic manipulation and Raman spectroscopic sequencing of single proteins (RamanProSeq)” that aims to develop Raman spectroscopic single-molecule protein sequencing technology capable of reading protein primary sequence at single-amino-acid resolution by integrating plasmonic nanopores with a high-speed Raman detection system, an automated control system, computer simulations, and advanced Raman-based bioinformatics.

The RamanProSeq consortium includes leading experts in intelligent automation, ultrafast SERS spectroscopy, nanopore fabrication and engineering, single molecule biochemistry and biophysics, computational biotechnology and AI bioinformatics. Assistant professor Jianan Huang will be the supervisor for fabrication, development and Raman spectroscopic measurement of plasmonic nanopores on nanopipettes in this call and get support from all the partners.
