Description
The Friedrich Schiller University Jena and DFG Research Training Groups 2723 Materials-Microbes-Microenvironments (M-M-M) have joined forces to come up with new antimicrobial biomaterials against the occurrence of infections related to biomaterials (BAI).
Six PhD tandems from different disciplines will be used by the group, each with two researchers working on materials science and medical/life science aspects that are complementary. The RTG has a close partnership with Friedrich Schiller University and Jena University Hospital.
Applications for 12 positions of Doctoral Researchers are being received with an aim of conducting research and training on novel antibacterial materials and their biochemical/medical reactions as well as compatibility.
Commencing on 1 February 2025 (fixed date), the positions are for up to 4 years. Six of the positions (materials science) are full time (100%), six of the positions (life sciences) are part time (65%). Each doctoral researcher will work in one of the following interdisciplinary tandem projects (materials science & life sciences):
- Project A: Switchable antimicrobial materials (Prof. Dr. K. D. Jandt (FSU) & Prof. Dr. B. Löffler (UKJ))
- Project B: Antimicrobial and bioactive nanoparticle functionalized protein coatings (Prof. Dr. K. D. Jandt (FSU) & Prof. Dr. B. Wildemann (UKJ))
- Project C: Antimicrobial bioactive glass for treatment of traumatic or pathological bone defects (Prof. Dr. D. Brauer (FSU) & Prof. Dr. G. Matziolis (UKJ))
- Project D: Graphene based antimicrobial biomaterials (Prof. Dr. A. Turchanin (FSU) & Prof. Dr. B. Löffler (UKJ))
- Project E: Microbiological testing of materials (Prof. Dr. M. Pletz (UKJ) & Prof. Dr. C. Eggeling (FSU))
- Project F: Digitized antimicrobial biomaterials semantic knowledge base (Prof. Dr. M. Sierka (FSU) & Prof. Dr. M. T. Figge (FSU/HKI))
