About this position

This postdoctoral project at Wageningen University & Research focuses on developing AFM-IR infrared nanospectroscopy combined with microfluidics for chemical analysis of proteins and protein assemblies in liquid physiological conditions.

The successful researcher will contribute to the Nano-Scope project, which investigates protein interactions and self-assembly at the single-molecule level, with relevance to disease and drug formulations. The work sits in the Nanoscale Imaging and Spectroscopy team led by Dr Francesco Simone Ruggeri, within the Department of Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter at Wageningen University.

The role is research-intensive and hands-on, centered on pushing the boundaries of nano-chemical analysis. The postdoc will develop and apply nano-chemical imaging and spectroscopy methods using AFM-IR, extend AFM-IR capabilities to liquid environments through microfluidics, and prepare and pre-characterise protein-based samples for analysis. The project also involves scientific writing and contributing manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication.

The project is carried out in a collaborative environment and connects Wageningen University with Amsterdam University and industrial partners including Bruker Nano, Digital Surf, Novo Nordisk, and Discoveric Bio Alpha. The group works on advanced nanoscale imaging and spectroscopy approaches to study the chemical, structural, and physical properties of complex molecular systems, offering a strong interdisciplinary setting for a postdoctoral researcher interested in biomolecular nanochemistry.

Funding details

Fixed-term postdoc position for 2 years with a gross monthly salary of €3,706–€5,760 for a 38-hour week (scale 10), plus standard WUR employment benefits; initially a one-year contract extendable for the project duration.

What's required

Applicants should have a strong academic record and a PhD in physical chemistry, physics, chemistry, biophysics or a related field. Required or strongly preferred experience includes hands-on AFM in liquid, microfluidics design and operation, preparation/handling/characterization of protein or biomolecular samples, and experience with or knowledge of AFM-IR. Excellent oral and written communication skills are required, and English proficiency at C1 level is expected in this international working environment.
