The microfluidic porous device will be utilized to detect biomarkers that play a critical role during the initiation and progression of inflammation-generated biological conditions (cancer, atherosclerosis, alzheimer\u2019s, etc). Measurement of biomarkers has always been challenging due to factors such as low concentration (pM), interference from heterophilic antibodies, and an extremely dynamic and transient secretion process. The standard techniques are time-consuming and expensive, so research efforts have focused on developing alternative sensing systems such as integrated nanomaterial-based diagnostic tools and indicators. Nanoporous Anodic Alumina (NAA) provides an excellent platform for developing smart and accurate optical biosensors. NAA can be used as an optically active substrate with real-time and in situ spectroscopic technique such as reflectometric interference spectroscopy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 well\"><strong style=\"color: #444444; font-size: 1.1em;\"><label class=\"control-label\">Contractual relationship:<\/label><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-4\">\n<p class=\"col-xs-12 well\">Contract Duration: 48 months<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"col-xs-4\"><label class=\"control-label\">Full\/Part time: <\/label>Full time<\/p>\n<p><label class=\"control-label\">Gross annual salary: <\/label>17823.93 \u20ac<\/p>\n<p><label class=\"control-label\">Working hours: <\/label>37.5 hours a week<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-xs-6\">\n<p><label class=\"control-label\">Date when the candidate is expected to start at the new position: <\/label><strong>01 October 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5><strong><label class=\"control-label\">Documentation required:<\/label><\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 well\">\n<ol>\n<li>Photocopy of identity card, resident`s card or passport currently in force.<\/li>\n<li>Curriculum Vitae<\/li>\n<li>Photocopy of the certificate of the official academic qualification or proof of payment of the fees for the issuance of the certificate that allows the holder to access the doctoral studies.
