**Job Opportunity:** Chemistry Nanotechnology Researcher at the Smart Nano-Bio-Devices Group

About the Company:

The Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) is a renowned research institution dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge and innovation. Our team of experts is committed to pushing the boundaries of science and technology, creating new opportunities for growth and development.

Job Description:

We are seeking an exceptional Chemistry Nanotechnology Researcher to join our Smart Nano-Bio-Devices Group. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for designing and developing self-propelled nanobots for translational approaches within biomedicine. This project is part of the ERC Proof-of-Concept named iNanoSwarms Project, which aims to create enzyme-powered nanoparticles capable of self-propelling using bioavailable fuels and display collective and cooperative behavior through communication among them as well as with the host environment.

Main Responsibilities:

  • Synthesize and characterize biocompatible and biodegradable inorganic (e.g., mesoporous silica, gold nanoparticles, iron oxide nanoparticles) and organic (e.g., lipidic, polymeric, hydrogel-based) nanocarriers.
  • Characterize the physico-chemical structure of the nanoparticles/nanomotors.
  • Study enzyme functionalization and drug loading/release capabilities of nanoparticles for the development of precision and personalized nanobots.
  • Design nanobots to be used as active smart drug delivery systems.
  • Guide bachelor, master, and PhD students.
  • Interact and report within the group and with private foundations and companies.
  • Actively work on the development of new ideas that give rise to future and/or evolution of projects and generation of intellectual property.

Requirements:

  • PhD in chemistry, biochemistry, nanobiotechnology, pharmacy, nanomedicine, or similar.
  • Experience in nanoparticle synthesis and characterization of biocompatible and/or biodegradable inorganic and organic nanocarriers.
  • Knowledge of common characterization techniques in chemistry (NMR, FTIR, DLS, Z-potential, GPC, HPLC chromatography, SEM, TEM, AFM, spectroscopy equipment, etc.).
  • Knowledge of modulating polymers/poly-peptides.
  • Experience grafting the surface of the nanoparticles (e.g., surface grafting with polymers to reduce protein corona effect, anchoring an antibody/enzyme).
  • Advantageous experience in drug loading and drug delivery studies with therapeutic small molecules.
  • Basic knowledge of fluorescence microscopy.

Competencies and Skills:

  • Communication
  • Teamwork
  • Proactivity
  • Commitment
  • Collegiality
  • Integrity
  • Critical and Analytical thinking
  • High level of English

What We Offer:

  • Number of available positions: 1
  • Starting date: February 2025
  • Working conditions: Temporary full-time contract
  • Measures to reconcile work and family life (maternity and paternity leave, flexible schedule working hours, 23 working days of paid holidays, 9 leave days for personal matters, among others)
  • IBEC ensures equality of access to professional development opportunities irrespective of employment status, length at IBEC or other factors
  • Stimulating, interdisciplinary research and high-quality international scientific environment
  • Induction programme to facilitate incorporation at IBEC and additional support is provided for foreigners to obtain Visa-working permit and to settle in Barcelona

Estimated Salary: $65,000 - $85,000 per annum based on qualifications and experience
