Description:
The project aims at the development of new materials for encapsulation of living cells and tissues with applications in biomedicine and agriculture. Purpose of the project is to develop nanostructured oxide materials bearing specific organic or biomolecular functions for selected purposes. It will involve the synthesis of new organic-inorganic hybrid materials, their characterization by a variety of techniques such as electron microscopy, AFM, X-ray spectroscopy and diffraction and NMR, and verification of their functional characteristics. The project will be carried out in an inspiring international environment and will involve active participation in international project meetings. One or several short research exchanges with partners abroad are foreseen.
Qualifications:
The applicants are expected to hold an MSc degree or equivalent in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science or related subject.
