Prospective candidate is supposed to develop sensor arrays coupled with multivariate data processing for the analysis of complex systems such as analysis of bioprocesses, cell cultures and tissues as well as environmental samples. She/he should develop sensor architectures that provide new capabilities or can be applied in POCT format.

Other tasks and responsibilities include:

1.            Training young researchers (PhD students, students) within the research team.

2.            Providing substantive supervision and supporting the career development of young postdoctoral scientists (e.g., in post-doc positions) within the research team.

3.            Preparing the content of publications and patent applications related to the conducted research.

4.            Preparing proposals, implementing, and reporting on research projects funded from external sources.

Remuneration funded from statutory funds of the institute and benefits in the form of private health care insurance; work in a dynamically developing team addressing interesting and important scientific problems; access to unique research infrastructure, and a pleasant and conflict-free work atmosphere.

• Completed university studies in the field of chemistry, PhD in the discipline of chemistry;
• For individuals who have obtained a doctoral degree at the IPC PAS – at least twelve months of postdoctoral experience at an institution other than the IPC PAS;
• Experience in leading a scientific project awarded through a competitive process within the last five years from the date of the announcement of the competition for the assistant professor position. This period can be extended by the duration of long-term (over 90 days), documented sick leave or rehabilitation benefits related to incapacity for work. Additionally, this period can be extended by the number of months spent on leave related to childcare, granted under the terms specified in the Labour Code, and in the case of women – for example, by 18 months for each born or adopted child, if such a way of indicating breaks in the scientific career is more beneficial for the candidate;
• Required competencies: experience in development of sensor arrays and electronic tongues, multivariate data analysis, development of novel sensing architectures;
• Desired competencies: experience in cell culture and bioprocess monitoring.

• Creativity measured by the quality and number of scientific publications in which the candidate is the first author, corresponding author or significant author  and patent applications/patents and/or implementation;
• Mobility in the candidate's career (research internships, change in scientific profile, internships and work in industry);
• The number of citations of the candidate's work, especially those papers in which the candidate is the first author, corresponding author or significant author;
• Creativity measured by the quality and number of research projects the candidate has led and publications resulting from the implementation of those projects;
• An opinion of the candidate, issued by an independent researcher, a specialist in the field of sensors
• Experience in teaching, successes in obtaining grants, managing studies, transfer of knowledge.
