About this position

The University of Geneva's Analytical Chemistry group, led by Professor Eric Bakker, is seeking two fully funded PhD students in the fields of bio- and environmental analytical chemistry and electrochemistry. The group is part of the Section of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, and focuses on the development and application of chemical sensing principles for a wide range of applications. Research is highly interdisciplinary, combining fundamental and applied work, and includes the synthesis of molecular recognition materials, sensor integration, and prototyping. Projects often involve the deployment of sensors in real-world settings such as aquatic environments and hospitals, aiming for direct societal impact.

Key research areas include potentiometric and voltammetric sensors for aquatic analysis, improving sensors with electronic elements, optical sensors for point-of-care analysis, and integrated analytical devices for bioanalytical applications. The group values collaboration and innovation, supported by in-house mechanical and electronics workshops.

Applicants must hold a master's degree in chemistry and demonstrate interest in analytical chemistry, bioanalytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, and electrochemistry. The positions are fully funded, though specific stipend and tuition details are not provided. For more information on the group's research, candidates can visit the academic group page.

To apply, interested candidates should send their CV to Prof. Eric Bakker at [email protected] or contact him via LinkedIn. This is an excellent opportunity for motivated students to join an international team and contribute to impactful research in Switzerland.
