The Nanochembio Group at the University of Granada invites applications from talented candidates for a fully funded FPU 2025 PhD fellowship (Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation). We are recruiting a candidate passionate about diagnostic innovation and precision medicine.

Project Overview:

The doctoral project aims to design, synthesize, and validate multifunctionalized nanoparticles for the selective detection of disease biomarkers, bridging nanotechnology and clinical diagnostics. The work will involve a combination of:

• Nanoparticle engineering and surface functionalization
• Biomolecular interaction studies
• Development of diagnostic platforms for biomedical applications
• Advanced data analysis in diagnostic contexts

This research sits at the intersection of chemistry, nanotechnology, and biomedicine, and offers ample space for creativity, publication, and international exposure.

Why Join Us?

✔ A multidisciplinary, collaborative research environment

✔ State-of-the-art facilities and training opportunities

✔ Mentorship from researchers with strong academic and industry networks

✔ Opportunities to present at international conferences and high-impact publications

Who Should Apply?

Ideal candidates hold a degree in Pharmacy, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Nanoscience, Biomedical Engineering, or related disciplines. We seek individuals with:

• A strong academic record
• Interest in interdisciplinary research
• Effective communication skills in English
• Prior experience in laboratory research or nanomaterials is desirable but not mandatory.

How to Apply:

Interested candidates should send the following documents by email to [email protected]:

• A detailed CV
• An official transcript of academic records from their BSc degree. Students from different countries should send the official grade conversion document and should hold a foreigner national identity card (NIE)
