Postdoctoral Position in Hybrid Nanocapsules: The Institute of Chemical Sciences of Rennes is seeking a highly motivated and skilled candidate for the GOLD project (PCSI INSERM 2023-2025) on cancer treatment optimization by radiotherapy using Hybridosomes® nanocapsules. The candidate will be responsible for synthesizing, formulating, and characterizing hybrid nanocapsules of different compositions in gold and iron oxides. The biodistribution and activity of the nanocapsules in vitro and in vivo will also be evaluated. The project involves three teams, and the duration of the contract is 15 months.
Designation: Engineer / Postdoctoral Position
Research Area: Hybrid Nanocapsules Synthesis and Characterization for Cancer Treatment Optimization by Radiotherapy
Location: University of Rennes, France
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Holders of a PhD in Chemistry or a Chemical Engineering degree specialized in Formulation
- Strong knowledge of physicochemistry and ability to master different analysis and characterization techniques such as electron microscopy, light scattering, and HPLC
- Good knowledge of polymers (synthesis, functionalization) is highly appreciated
- Strong interest in working at the physics-chemistry-biology interface and in biomedical applications
- Training in cell culture and animal experimentation techniques is a plus
