PostDoc - Synthesis and characterisation of compounds with potential antitumour activity. Application in vitro devices. (Open)

In this multidisciplinary project, the candidate will have to perform the following tasks of:

• Synthesis and characterization of organometallic complexes (Pt II and IV).
• Synthesis and characterization of epigenetic inhibitor.
• Knowledge in the study of the photophysical properties of the compounds.
• Preparation of reports.

The candidate must have experience in an organic and/or organometallic synthesis laboratory. This includes working with vacuum and inert atmosphere techniques. The candidate must be fully familiar with the characterization techniques for these compounds, such as IR, NMR, X-ray, Mass-analysis, etc. He/she must also know the study of photophysical properties. Finally, the fact that the candidate knows the modification and functionalization of surfaces will be positively valued.

• Estimated annual gross salary: Salary is commensurate with qualifications and consistent with our pay scales
• Target start date: 2025/01/01

We provide a highly stimulating research environment, and unique professional career development opportunities.

We offer and promote a diverse and inclusive environment and welcomes applicants regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity.

A multidisciplinary project whose objective is to create a chip on which cancer treatments can be tested. The consortium is made up of chemists, biochemists, materials engineers, etc. The project is led by Leartiker and the consortium includes experts such as Jesús Bañales, Patricia Aspichueta, etc.

Interested candidates should submit an updated CV and a brief statement of interest to the following application email below. 

Reference letters are welcome but not indispensable.

The reference of the specific opening to which the candidate is applying should be stated in the subject line, and the application must be received before the application deadline.

Although candidates are welcome to contact the project supervisors to know further details about the proposed research activity, please be aware that the application will be evaluated only if it is submitted directly to the email address listed below as application email.

• Reference: 2024/45
• Application deadline: 2024/12/30
• Application email: jobs.research@dipc.org

Applications received by the deadline will be evaluated by a Committee designed by the DIPC board on the basis of the following criteria:

• CV of the candidate (40%)
• Adequacy of the candidate’s scientific background to the project (40%)
• Reference letters (10%)
• Other: Diversity in gender, race, nationality, etc. (10%)

Evaluation results will be communicated to the candidates soon after. Positions will only be filled if qualified candidates are found.

The DIPC may revoke its decision if the candidate fails to join by the appointed time, in which case the position will be awarded to the candidate with the next highest score, provided it is above 50 (out of 100).

However, the selected candidate may keep the position if, in the opinion of the Selection Committee, the candidate duly justifies the reasons why he or she cannot join before the specified deadline, and as long as the project allows it.

This contract will be funded by Bilchip (Elkartek).
