Postdoctoral researcher at the Smart Nano-Bio-Devices Research Group
hace 1 semana
Introduction to the vacant position:
The Smart Nano-Bio-Devices Group is looking for a Chemistry Postdoctoral Researcher to work on the development of self-propelled nanobots for translational approaches within biomedicine.
The contract will be within the framework of the ERC Proof-of-Concept named iNanoSwarms Project, which aims to develop enzyme-powered nanoparticles capable of self-propelling using bioavailable fuels and display collective and cooperative behaviour through communication among them as well as with the host environment.
Main tasks and responsibilities:
- Synthesis and characterization of 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.
- Interaction and reporting 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 for candidates:
Essential:
- PhD in the field of 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.
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.
How to apply:
Until 06/01/2024, an online application form is available through IBEC dedicated site:
Only those applications submitted before the deadline will be evaluated.
