Interfacing Nano-Objects for Functional Electronic and Optofluidic Systems (INOFEO). Post-doc position available at the Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires (ISIS), Strasbourg. We are seeking a highly motivated post-doc (24-26 k€/year) with strong experience in fluid physics, microfluidics, and/or physics/microsystems engineering to work on an exciting interdisciplinary project to develop microfluidic systems to allow the precise control of spatial distribution, orientation and manipulation of nanocontainers using hydrodynamic flow, electrical and magnetic fields. The three year INOFEO project is financed by the Nanoscience Europe NanoSci-E+ program and aims to use nanocontainers, zeolites L, as an interfacing tool to the external word. The zeolites possessing 1D nanoscale channels, filled with molecules, or chemically functionalized, will be organized and manipulated in both static and dynamic configurations. We intend to use zeolites filled with fluorophores to generate tunable optical systems, including dye lasers and to target zeolites to cellular targets in microfluidic systems, allowing insertion of zeolite “nanoneedles” into cells for selective molecule delivery.
