PhD position: Nanoelectronics and nanofluidics combined with graphene edge sensors

Vacancy number: 16557

Job type: PhD positions

Contract hours min: 38

Contract hours max: 40

Location: Leiden

Applying is possible until: 30 juni 2026

A PhD position in the Leiden Institute of Chemistry, the group of Grégory Schneider.

Disciplines: Graphene and 2D materials, Graphene sensors, Nanophysics, Nanopore fabrication, Molecular Breakjunctions, Nanofabrication.

What you will do

The PhD project aims at fabricating and characterizing graphene edge sensors for single molecule detection and biopolymer sequencing. Nanofabrication of such devices will require the development of techniques that integrate nanofluidics with nanoelectronics, where the candidate previous experience in these field is an asset.

The PhD student will be supervised jointly by Grégory Schneider (Leiden Institute of Chemistry) and Jan van Ruitenbeek (Leiden Institute of Physics).
