Přehled

The Intelligent NanoEngineering Group at Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team. This project focuses on designing novel intelligent nanorobotic systems powered by chemical fuels and studying their collective behaviors. The research will involve intelligent nanoengineering to construct novel chemically powered nanorobots, exploring their individual and collective motion behaviors. We will investigate how complex environments affect their dynamics and develop strategies to control their behavior at both the individual and group levels.

What do we offer:

  • Fully funded for 2-3 years with possibility to extend;
  • Access to state-of-the-art research facilities at Mendel University and CEITEC Nano (access to nanofabrication and nanocharacterization labs, access to biophotonic imaging facilities);
  • Strong domestic and international collaborations with biologists and material scientists;
  • Professional development through conferences, workshops, and specialized training;
  • Grant opportunities within Czech Republic (GACR), EU (MSCA), and international level;
  • Experience Brno, the vibrant city at the heart of Europe;
  • Come and do fun science with iNANO!

We are looking for candidates with:

  • PhD degree in materials science, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, biochemistry, biophysics, or related fields.
  • Strong hands-on experience and self-motivation in interdisciplinary research of nanomaterials and biology.
  • Experience in one or more of the following areas is highly preferred: nanoparticle design, synthesis and characterization; nanorobotics; biochemistry; independent characterization techniques such as SEM, DLS, XRD, XPS, etc; drug delivery system design, synthesis and characterization; knowledge about plant biology and enzymology is a plus.

Application Procedure:

Please send the following documents to Dr. Xiaohui (Sophie) Ju (Ju@mendelu.cz). Please indicate in your email title “iNANO_ChemBots”.

  • CV, and cover letter detailing your motivation and relevant experience
  • Recommendation letter from two academic referees
