0586 DOCTORAL CANDIDATE (f/m/d) Skin cancer plasma source development and diagnostics in matter interaction

YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Diagnostics of plasma sources in gas, liquid, and gel phases (via, e.g., spectroscopy);
• Investigation of plasma treatment-target interactions and interdependencies through physical-chemical parameters (e.g., leakage current, UV, reactive species generation, temperature);
• Accompanying development of a cold plasma technology optimized for skin cancer treatment;
• Supporting the definition of QC criteria for production and operation of the source;
• 3D printing and development of new or improvement of existing laboratory analysis methods, also with biological-biochemical methods such as tissue replacement, for a better understanding of the relevant active components of plasma;
• Analyzing, interpreting, and presenting collected data and contributing to the preparation of scientific publications.

YOUR PROFILE:

• Completed University degree in Natural Sciences (Master of Science or equivalent) in physics, biophysics, (bio)engineering, electrical engineering, (bio)chemistry or a related field

• High affinity to numbers and mathemathics as well as a strong logical understanding
• Strong interest in various analytical disciplines in the investigation of plasma mechanisms in the context of interdisciplinary research
• Practical basic knowledge of analytical and physical process techniques
• High level of commitment, motivation, ability to work independently, teamwork skills, flexibility, sense of responsibility, reliability and problem-solving skills
• Very good knowledge of English (written and spoken) and preferably also German as well as computer skills

OUR INSTITUTE…

ranks among the largest and most modern institutions in the field of low-temperature plasmas worldwide. In an international working environment, we conduct socially relevant research within our core areas Agriculture, Bioeconomy & Environment, Plasma Medicine, Surfaces & Materials, Process- & Energy Technology and Smart Data Technologies. Currently the INP employs about 200 scientists and staff at three locations (Greifswald, Rostock and Karlsburg).
