Union representatives
The Molecular Electronics and Devices group and the Nano-Organic Chemistry group of the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, invite applications for a PhD position to work at the interface of physics and chemistry.
Research Project and Job Description
In this proposed research we aim to design and functionalize (arrays of) top-down fabricated silicon nanowires to investigate their electronic and physico-chemical properties. Challenges are the control over the device geometry and the electrical contacts. Additional challenges include the exploitation of designed, responsive properties (e.g., magnetic, light-induced, switching, conformational changes, specific binding) via the chemical functionalization of the silicon nanowires and to elucidate electronic transport mechanisms in the fabricated nanodevices. This interdepartmental, experimental research
involves clean room chemistry at the TU Delft Nanofacility, surface chemistry and electronic investigation.
Requirements
We are looking for an excellent and motivated, experimental researcher with an interest in molecular electronic devices. The candidate should have an MSc degree in chemistry, physics, or materials science and should also have good communication skills in English (both in writing and in speaking).
Organization
The Kavli Institute of Nanoscience is part of the Faculty of Applied Sciences and consists of seven research groups and the Nanofacility (clean room). The Molecular Electronics and Devices group (http://med.tn.tudelft.nl) studies the electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties of molecules, assemblies of molecules, and crystals of molecules. Top-down nanotechnology is used to build nanometer-scale structures that are used to hold molecules or to make electrical contact to them. Bottom-up technologies include self-assembly techniques, which are used to place molecules between
electrodes or to arrange them into assemblies like fibers or crystals.
The chemical engineering department (DelftChemTech) of Delft University of Technology is also part of the Faculty of Applied Sciences and has a strong focus on nano-chemical engineering. The new chair of Nano-Organic Chemistry at DelftChemTech (www.dct.tudelft/noc) focuses on the design, synthesis and assembly of (bio)organic molecules to nano-sized architectures, thus exploiting the opportunities for
inserting chemical functionality in these systems. The modification and optimization of supramolecular interactions deals with organic systems, and also with hybrid organic/inorganic concepts. Focus will be given to a) the formation and stability of nanocapsules and b) functionalized surfaces, in particular nanowires, which will be investigated as a promising way to develop chemical sensors and biosensors.
Conditions of Employment
The successful candidate will be employed full-time by the TU Delft for a fixed period of 4 years within which he or she is expected to write a dissertation leading to a doctoral degree (PhD thesis). The estimated monthly PhD starting salary is € 2,000 per month gross and will increase to a maximum of € 2,558 gross in the fourth year. Benefits and other employment conditions are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.

PhD position in Nano-Biomaterials, INPL-Nancy, France
Thèse BDI: Nano-biomatériaux polymère pour la thérapie photodynamique anticancéreuse
Laboratoire : Laboratoire de Chimie Physique Macromoléculaire (LCPM) UMR CNRS-INPL 7568, ENSIC, 1 Rue Grandville BP 20451 54001 Nancy
Equipe d’accueil : Groupe Polymères et Matériaux de Spécialité, Equipe J.L. Six
Directrice de thèse : M. Léonard, Co-directeur : R. Vanderesse
Co-encadrement : C. Frochot, E. Marie
Objectif :
Ce travail concerne l’encapsulation d’agents photoctivables telles les chlorines ou
phtalocyanines dans des nanoparticules polymère, pour le traitement de certains cancers par thérapie photodynamique.
L’irradiation de molécules photoactivables conduit à la formation d’oxygène singulet qui peut entraîner la mort cellulaire et ainsi inhiber l’angiogenèse dont le rôle est essentiel dans le développement des tumeurs cancéreuses. Il s’agit de promouvoir le ciblage thérapeutique de ces principes actifs (PA) photoactivables vers les récepteurs VEGF-R2 et neuropiline-1 (NRP-1) qui sont surexprimés par les cellules de l’endothélium vasculaire au niveau des tumeurs. Pour cela, les principes actifs seront encapsulés dans des nanoparticules polymère (acide polylactique et poly (alkyl cyanoacrylates)). La fonctionnalisation de la surface de ces nanoparticules par des peptides ciblant VEGF-R2 et NRP-1 devrait permettre leur adressage sélectif au site tumoral. Au final, l'objectif visé est d'améliorer la biodisponibilité des molécules photosensibles en les protégeant du milieu vivant et en contrôlant leur distribution spatiale mais aussi dans le temps.
Le programme des travaux est prévu comme suit:
- Synthèse et études physico-chimiques des dérivés amphiphiles du dextrane (obtenus par greffage de chaînons hydrophobes), fonctionnalisés par greffage de peptides : analyse chimique (RMN, IR, UV-visible), masses molaires (diffusion de la lumière laser aux petits angles), propriétés interfaciales (tensiométrie)…
- Elaboration des nanoparticules fonctionnalisées à coeur hydrophobe (acide polylactique, poly (alkyl cyanoacylates)) et à couronne de dextrane par divers procédés : émulsion/évaporation de solvant, nanoprécipitation, polymérisation en miniémulsion,
- à partir des dextranes amphiphiles fonctionnalisés
- à partir des dextranes amphiphiles, avec une fonctionnalisation à « posteriori » des
particules obtenues
- Caractérisation des nanoparticules
- taille, morphologie (microscopies optique et électronique à balayage, diffraction diffusion de lumière laser)
- analyse de surface (microscopie à force atomique, ESCA, potentiel zéta)
- stabilité colloïdale (milieux biologiques, lyophilisation)
- durée de demie-vie intravasculaire
- Encapsulation de molécules photosensibles (étude des taux d’encapsulation, de l’état de dispersion du PA dans la matrice polymère, de sa libération, de la mesure de la libération d’oxygène singulet sous irradiation (RPE, spectroscopie de fluorescence)
- Evaluations biologiques in vitro (interactions particules-cellules tumorales, cytotoxicité) et in vitro (souris)
