>> Postdoctoral position: Development of a biosensor for pesticide detection

Publication: From December 10, 2018 to January 30, 2019

Project description

A wide variety of organic pollutants are found in natural and treated water sources, such as

pesticides. Traditional methods for their detection and quantification involve mass spectrometry, often in combination with gas or liquid chromatography. Since these methods are expensive, time-consuming, require a skilled labour, and are not suitable for on-site analyses, current research efforts are devoted to develop disposable sensors based on specific targeting coupled to colorimetric, fluorescence, or electrochemical detection. However, an emerging method involving DNA aptamers for pollutant detection is currently explored. These nucleic acids have been widely used as recognition elements for biosensor construction, especially in the detection of pathogens (Escherichia coli), drugs (cocaine), hormones (β-estradiol), organic pollutants (bisphenol-A), etc.

In this project, the main objective is to develop an aptamer-based biosensors for on site and real time analyses of pesticides. An electrochemical platform based on a screen-printed electrodes will be explored. Different strategies will be evaluated to immobilize the aptamer on the surface.

Keywords: Biosensor, aptamer, pesticide, electrochemistry

>> 14 Marie Skłodowska ‐ Curie Positions for Early Stage

Projet eSCALED (website)
Researchers in the Field of Artificial Photosynthesis

 Publied: 20/04/2018
Offer starting date: 01/10/2018
Deadline: 20/05/2018, 18:00 Stockholm Time (CET or GMT+1)

Localisation: Multiple locations (Pau [France], Uppsala [Sweden], Tarragona [Spain], Grenoble/paris [France], Eindhoven [Netherlands], Namur [Belgium], Stuttgart [Germany], Mataro / Cerdanyola del Vallés [Spain], Genova [Italy], Aubonne [Switzerland], Backnang [Germany])
Contact : L. Francesch (contact @ escaled-project.eu)

The eSCALED consortium, in collaboration with the Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie programme, is delighted to offer 14 Early Stage Researcher positions. The successful candidates will enrol in double PhD programs involving 2 partner universities, starting latest in October 2018, for ground-breaking research on Artificial Photosynthesis Devices.
Artificial photosynthesis, defined as a manner to store solar energy in chemical bonds (solar fuels) has the potential to provide significant economic, environmental and social benefits. A cost effective and reliable process would have a tremendous societal impact since this achievement could transform European and worldwide energy production, distribution and policies in the near future. However, it still represents a significant scientific and technological challenge. eSCALED is an innovation-oriented project using bioinspiration as a creative enhancing tool.
The eSCALED collaborative project brings together for the first time, 11 internationally recognized academic and industrial research groups. The project has an interdisciplinary scientific approach integrating the latest knowledge on (bio-)catalysis, photovoltaics, polymer chemistry and nanostructuration by self-assembly. eSCALED is expected to generate breakthroughs in the development of artificial photosynthetic leaves as photoelectrochemical devices, educate highly trained researchers and induce novel cross-disciplinary collaborations.
eSCALED will provide the Early Stage Researchers with exciting high mobility projects in a multicultural environment. The students will register for a PhD and work under the supervision of an international and interdisciplinary team of supervisors towards solving a specific challenge related to the eSCALED project. In parallel, the eSCALED framework will offer the young researchers an enhanced and comprehensive training, tailored workshops, a summer school, and lectures to facilitate sharing of knowledge, acquisition of new skills and career development.
