Main tasks and responsibilities:
– Take the leadership within the group of a competitive project related to the field of nanomotors, nanorobotics, enzymatic catalysis and nanoparticles. Once the PI is not present, he/she will be the main responsible of the assigned project.
– Active participation and supervision of high standard scientific publications and competitive grant proposals.
– Fabrication, design and optimization of self-propelled nanomachines towards fundamental undesrtanding or/and towards proof-of-concept applications
– After a initial positive period of time, the candidate may be responsible of a small group of students who will work in the same project.
– Other duties as assigned, which may include attending Scientific Conferences and International Meetings.
Requirements for candidates:
– Experience in self-propelled nano-motors based on : polymeric nano-particles, supramolecular chemistry, inorganic nanomaterials and mesoporous silica nano-particles.
– Strong background in synthesis and fabrication on nanoparticles.
– Knowledge on enzymatic reactions and catalysis.
– Enthusiast of nanomotors, nanorobotics and nanomachines.
– Competencies : communication skills, project planning and delivery, career management, analytical and critical thinking, ethics and integrity, leadership, information seeking and management.
We Offer:
– One year contract (possibility of extension for one year more ).
