Offer Description

Researcher position in the group of researchers at the NanoBioMedical Centre:

The competition is open to individuals who meet the requirements specified in Article 113 of the Law on Higher Education and Science of 20 July 2018 (Journal of Laws of 2024, item 1571, Article 113 as amended) and who meet the following requirements:

• Doctoral degree in the discipline of chemical, physical, materials science, biotechnology, or related sciences.
• Knowledge of X-ray techniques used for the characterization of crystalline materials, including XRD, WAXS, and SAXS, as well as the ability to perform and interpret XRD measurements, including qualitative and quantitative phase analysis. Knowledge of thin-film characterization methods is also required, in particular X-ray reflectometry, texture and stress analysis, and reciprocal space mapping, together with the ability to use crystalline phase databases, especially the ICDD PDF database.Experience in the thermal characterization of materials using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), including sample preparation, selection of measurement parameters, conducting analyses, and interpretation of the obtained results, will be considered an additional asset.
• Experience in the synthesis and characterization of materials used in nanobiomedicine is required. Experience in the fabrication and functionalization of polymeric materials will be considered an additional asset.
• Documented research experience, with a research stay at a renowned foreign institution, is considered an additional asset.
• Competences supporting the internationalization of research, in particular the ability to independently communicate research results in oral and written form, independently prepare manuscripts for scientific publications, and present research results orally in English.
• Documented high-level scientific achievements indexed in Scopus or Web of Science in the fields of chemical sciences, physical sciences, materials engineering, biotechnology, or related disciplines.

Additional Requirements:

• self-reliance, organizational skills,
• readiness to work in a team,
• readiness for scientific mobility,
• readiness to share knowledge and experience.
