PhD student in human breath analysis by mid-IR laser spectroscopy in Dübendorf

4 - 40 Stunden pro Woche

Jobbeschreibung

This PhD project involves the development of a high-precision, mid-IR laser spectrometer for the detection of specific trace-compounds in human breath. The primary scientific aim is the selective and sensitive detection of gaseous organic molecules that are relevant in medical applications. This work is part of the “Zürich Exhalomics” flagship project, and the successful candidate will be enrolled at ETH Zurich, co-supervised by Prof. Dr. R. Zenobi. The PhD student will thus benefit from a broad expertise in trace gas detection, and breath research.

  • Development and application of quantum cascade laser spectroscopy for the detection of trace gases in human breath
  • Method validation and intercomparison with state-of-the-art mass spectrometry and gas chromatography
  • Collaboration with the Children's Hospital Zurich during a clinical study
  • Data analysis, interpretation, and presentation at international conferences
  • Required skills

  • Master degree in chemistry or physics

  • Good knowledge in analytics and spectroscopic techniques

  • Experience in gas handling/vacuum systems and sample preparation

  • Programming skills

  • Fluency in English is required; oral expression skills in German are desirable
