Postdoc Position in Material Chemistry at the Institute of Materials Science of
Barcelona (ICMAB−CSIC)
Descripción de la oferta
A Postdoc position is available in the Nanostructured Molecular Materials for Biomedicine(NANOMOL–Bio) group (https://nanomol-bio.icmab.es/) under the supervision of Dr. Paula
Mayorga.
Research Topic:
A multidisciplinary project aiming at developing original photoresponsive nanozymes as enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generators for cancer treatment. Moreover, specific
surface modifications are intended to achieve higher specificity and efficiency. Thus, not only the expertise on material preparation and characterization will be used but also the knowledge on their interplay with cancer cells will be gained. This project has been funded by La Caixa Foundation, Postdoctoral Junior Leader–Incoming Program (ID: 127833), a Ramon y Cajal contract (RYC2023-045821-I), the L’Oréal-Unesco “For Women in Science” 2023 call and a CSIC JAE-PRE grant for funding predoctoral contracts (ref. JAEPR23101).
Perfil buscado
Main tasks:
– Synthesis and characterization of organic and/or inorganic nanozymes as well as surface functionalization. – Evaluation of ROS production (photocatalytic and enzymatic activity).
– Analysis of cellular uptake and intracellular ROS generation.
Requirements:
Applicants should hold a PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, or related disciplines. The ideal candidate should have a background in Material Science and
physicochemical characterization techniques. Knowledge of chemical synthesis will be highly valued. Publications record will be considered. Good written and spoken English skills are
mandatory.
Personal skills & others:
We seek outstanding candidates with initiative and team-working abilities.
