2 Postdoctoral and 2 PhD positions in microfabricated Lab−on−a−Chip
(Bio−MEMS) for biotechnological applications
MIC www.mic.dtu.dk is a research center for advanced micro− and
nanotechnology at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) www.dtu.dk. The
Cell Particle Handling Group at MIC works on integration of micromachined
tools for the manipulation, sorting and analyses of cells. The work involves
development of a platform for DNA amplification based on the polymerase
chain reaction (PCR chip), sample preparation for PCR based on
dielectrophoresis (DEP), micro arrays for DNA analysis, and optical cell
analysis systems (flow cytometers). We are implementing such systems for
detecting pathogens in clinical samples and food (e.g. Campylobacter in
chickens), mutations screening, and for cancers detection (e.g. colon
cancer)
Two Postdoctoral and two PhD positions are available in the Cell Particle
Handling Group at MIC. The positions are involved in EU and national
research projects
Candidates with a master degrees (for PhD positions) or a PhD degree (for
postdoc positions) in physics, chemistry or molecular biology are invited to
apply for three years Ph D positions or two years post−doc positions
starting October 2005 (or soon thereafter) to work with the development of
Lab on chip for
1) Rapid detection or mass screening of colon cancer
2) Rapid detection of mutation in tumour development
3) Rapid detecting bacterial pathogen in food and clinical samples.
All of the projects will focus on the development of integrated

MIC represents a cross−disciplinary research environment where micro and
nanotechnology are applied to a wide range of scientific disciplines, e.g.
mechanics, optics, chemistry, medical technologies, and biotechnology. MIC
has access to a state−of−the−art cleanroom, chemical laboratories,
biochemical laboratories, and optical laboratories. MIC's vision is to
ensure the establishment of a micro and nanotechnology industry in Denmark.
MIC's mission therefore comprises three distinct activities: Scientific
research in micro and nanotechnology, education of scientists and engineers

2 Postdoctoral and 2 PhD positions in microfabricated Lab−on−a−Chip (Bio−MEMS) for biotechnological applications
in micro and nanotechnology and transfer of scientific knowledge to private
industry. MIC employs 80 scientists and engineers among which 40 Ph.D.
students. The vast majority of our scientific projects are conducted in
collaboration with Danish industry. MIC offers a comprehensive course plan
with theoretical and experimental courses that allows students with various
scientific backgrounds to learn about the different facets of micro and
nanotechnology. In the past decade MIC has generated 10 start−up and
spin−off companies. Several of these companies are expected to launch their
first micro and nanotechnology−based products in 2005.
