Talking Science workshop

Dear students, PhD students and postdocs,

Do you want to talk about science with other people, in your lab, in other departments or on the streets? Do you feel scientists should communicate their work correctly, and not leave it to the journalists and media?If you’re tired of how science is misrepresented around you, or just want to be able to talk about science conversationally, 

join our workshop and become a skilled communicator.

Learn to communicate your science in an engaging and understandable way. Let’s talk about what really matters to us!

PhD Project at CSEM: VISUAL AND NON-VISUAL EFFECTS OF LED-BASED OFFICE LIGHTING ON HUMANS

PhD proposal CSEM

The objective of the proposed PhD project is to investigate and quantify visual and non-visual effects produced by LED lighting on humans across a wide spectral and photometric parameter space. The proposed research will combine the vast experience and facilities of Professors Cajochen and Scartezzini on the physiological aspects of lighting with those of CSEM in the field of integrated light management solutions for solid-state lighting.

PhD Position: Cascade reaction in giant vesicles

Candidates are invited to apply for a PhD position in the field of nanoscience ay of the University of Basel

In the first step the PhD project has the aim to optimize and further develop the formation of giant vesicles with different block polymers.

In a second important step, the aim is to encapsulate enzymes into the giant polymersomes or other polymersomes/liposomes to get compartmentalized vesicles, as well as the insertion of membrane protein into the artificial polymer membrane to from different kinds of nanoreactors
