We are looking for good and motivated people who want to join a dynamic and active group as undergraduates, Master students, Ph.D. students or postdoctoral fellows. There are different types of fellowships and grants available during the year.
JUNIOR POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
Are you interested in the use of natural polymers for developing multifunctional nanocomposites?
Do you know that advanced hydrogels play a key role in tissue regeneration?
If you are interested in those topics, the Nanoparticles Nanocomposites (NN) group at The Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) is seeking a motivated candidate to join the BIOSOFTREGE project https://nn.icmab.es/projects/ and design sophisticated natural hydrogels and nanoparticles systems for tissue regeneration with a variety of shapes, and topographies while also encompassing biocompatibility, biointegrability, mechanical compliance, stimuli responsiveness or programmed biodegradation profiles.
Position description: The candidate will focus on the study and design of novel bacterial cellulose scaffolds/substrates modified with biopolymers (e.g. polysaccharides) and nanoparticles. The final goal is to produce a functional platform for tissue regeneration, completely characterized and the biological evaluation screened. The research project will be carried out at the NN group.
Job offer: We offer one-year contract with the possibility of extending it further upon performance. Salary range before tax (33.000 – 40.000 /year) depending on experience.
Candidate profile: We seek candidates with a Ph.D. in Biotechnology, Biomedicine, Nanotechnology, Chemistry or similar.
Requirements
• Strong analytical abilities and quick comprehension of new subjects.
• Aptitude for teamwork and excellent communication skills.
• Ability and willingness to work in multidisciplinary environments.
• Experience in the following areas would be considered: natural polymers, hydrogels, nanoparticles.
Responsibilities:
• Be part of the research group, working together with biologists and chemists
• Help to supervise MSc and undergraduate students
• Design and perform experiments to ensure that the technical solutions adopted meet the
established requirements.
Application: Interested candidates are welcome to submit their CV with a brief description of
their scientific interests to Maite Escobar (mescobar@icmab.es) before 30th Jan 2024.
Institution: The N&N Group’s research is focused on the rational synthesis of nanoparticles and nanocomposites and the study of their structural-functional properties including those related to the nano/bio interfaces. The group vision is to see our materials impacting on Nanomedicine, Information Technologies, or Energy and Environment. The Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) is a multidisciplinary research center focused on cutting-edge research in functional advanced materials from the largest research organization in Spain (CSIC). We are located at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) campus, surrounded by research and technological centers and with access to state-of-the-art equipment and scientific facilities.
Mater Thesis Research in Nanocomposite materials for energy harvesting
We are seeking for highly-motivated last-year Master student holding a degree in nanotechnology, chemistry, physics or electrical engineering.
Candidates should be familiar with data analysis and show proficient oral and written English skills. A background in the design of circuits or the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials would be considered.

Periodically there is the possibility to join the group as a post-doctoral researcher, we look for excellent and highly motivated researchers. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to apply.
Possibilities range from the Marie Curie actions of the European Commission to various national schemes. Of special interest are two Spanish funding schemes that are yearly open to applicants from any nationality:
Both of them involve 3-year contracts that offer an excellent opportunity for professional development. Generally speaking, both PhD holders and students in their last year of PhD can apply to these positions. Some flexibility in the starting date is usually allowed by the funding agencies.
Candidates desirable should hold an excellent university degree (with a qualification above 2). An interdisciplinary outlook is desired and will be encouraged.
Our group is prepared to supervise Ph.D. students and support grant applications. There are different options during the year to apply for a Ph.D. positions.
Candidates desirable should hold an excellent university degree (with a qualification above 2). An interdisciplinary outlook is desired and will be encouraged.
Mostly funded through Spanish fellowships (grants from regional governments, MEC, Fundacion Areces, etc.) Of special interest are CSIC’s own fellowships, which are open to individuals of any nationality:
Please contact us and we will advise you what is the closest deadline, as well as you should contact if you want us to support your grant application.
