What do we expect from you?

  • Ph.D. degree focusing on chemistry, biochemistry, biomedicine, etc.
  • at least 5 years of experience in materials chemistry – preparation and characterization of materials and biomaterials for biomedical applications and energy production applications (including relevant master’s and doctoral studies)
  • excellent command of Czech and English (ability to publish in both languages)
  • experience in solving scientific projects (as a team member)
  • experience in preparing scientific publications

What research experience do we require?

  • experience with materials characterization methods such as XRD, SEM, XPS, FTIR, rheological analysis, etc.
  • laboratory skills related to the synthesis of nanoparticles using either wet chemical synthesis or bioprinting
  • basic skills in working with bacteria and cell cultures, experience with operating light and confocal microscopes

What additional skills we appreciate?

  • proven experience working with the Bioprinter CELLINK INKREDIBLE platform is an advantage
  • ability to gain an overview of the field through independent literature reviews
  • ability to conduct independent research and write manuscripts, at least 5 publications in scientific journals
  • and at least 3 as the first author

What can we offer you?
