Dear ETPN members, dear colleagues from the European Nanomedicine community, we are glad to share with you today a research position in DNA nanotechnology at CiQUS – University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
The group bionanotools is seeking an enthusiastic, proactive and independent researcher (pre- or postdoctoral) with a proven track record in DNA-nanotechnology (such as DNA-origamis, Framework nucleic acids, etc.). Previous experience in DNA-origami design will be highly appreciated. Applications of pre- and postdoctoral researchers are welcome.
Description
- The applicant will be involved in the synthesis and characterization of DNA-origamis and their interaction with colloidal nanomaterials, as part of the ERC-StG SPACING project. Previous experience in physicochemical characterization techniques such as UV/Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, gel electrophoresis, Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), dynamic light scattering (DLS), etc. will be considered.
- Good communication skills and proficiency in written and spoken English are essential.
- Research Center: CIQUS, University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
- Supervisor: Dr. Beatriz Pelaz and Prof. Pablo del Pino.
