Engineered nanomaterials hold great promise in biomedical and other applications.
However, the safety of nanomaterials needs to be carefully evaluated. The post doc will participate in nanosafety research in the European Commission-funded Horizon2020 project BIORIMA.
Your mission
The successful applicant will work in a highly international environment at the Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet. The project is focused on the in vitro assessment of a range of nanomaterials with particular emphasis on the immune system. The project is embedded in the European Commission-funded project BIORIMA. The post doc will participate in joint activities such as consortium meetings and assist with project reports.
Your profile
Qualified to be employed as a post doc is one who has obtained a doctorate or has equivalent scientific competence in cell- or molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, or toxicology.
