Company Description

The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC) is part of the National Microelectronics Center (CNM) and operates under the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). It is recognized as a Unit of Excellence María de Maeztu and is home to approximately 200 professionals, including researchers, technicians, administrative staff, and PhD students. Specializing in silicon-based micro and nano-technologies, devices, and systems, IMB-CNM conducts applied research and technology development across a wide range of fields. The institute features world-class scientific infrastructure, including the Micro and Nanofabrication Clean Room, which supports R&D collaboration with national and international research groups. IMB-CNM also offers advanced technology transfer, consulting services, industrial training programs, and outreach initiatives.

Role Description

The PhD candidate will contribute to the ASMEMS (Advanced Sensing Membranes for Precise Cell Culture Monitoring) project, an initiative aimed at advancing Organ-on-Chip (OoC) technologies to improve the precision and reliability of in vitro biomedical research. The project addresses this challenge by developing silicon-based porous membranes with integrated sensors for real-time, in situ monitoring of cellular processes. By replacing conventional polymer membranes with CMOS-compatible silicon structures, the project enables the integration of electrical and biochemical sensors directly within the chip platform. This approach allows detailed observation of cell–cell interactions, migration, and barrier integrity with high spatial and temporal resolution. Integration into a microfluidic system ensures stable long-term cell culture conditions and precise environmental control, supporting reliable modeling of physiological and pathological processes. 

What will you do:

• Develop silicon-based cell culture membranes. 
• Develop and integrate nanopillar electrodes on the membranes.
• Develop and optimize fabrication processes, with particular focus on photolithography and reactive ion etching (RIE).
• Characterise the fabricated devices to validate their performance. 

Who we are looking for:

• Education: Nanoscience/nanotechnology, Biomedical/Electronic engineering at Msc level.
• Autonomy: Strong ability to work independently in cleanroom environments, including designing fabrication strategies and executing processes. Close supervision and guidance will be provided by the principal investigators (PIs) based on their expertise. Characterisation in biological environments will also require a certain level of autonomy following appropriate training.
• Collaboration: Ability to work effectively with cleanroom technicians and other members of the GAB research group. 

What we offer:

• A CSIC PhD Training Contract and a tailored Career Development Plan designed to support your growth in this specific position, along with access to a wide range of professional development resources and career advancement opportunities.
• A dynamic international research environment located in Barcelona (UAB Campus).
• Access to Spain’s largest clean room facilities for micro/nano fabrication.
• Work hand in hand with experienced researchers and multidisciplinary teams

Minimum requirements:

• Familiarity with silicon or SiO₂ microfabrication.
• Knowledge of electrical/electrochemical measurement techniques.
• Ability to design, prototype, and evaluate integrated sensing platforms. Experience with cleanroom technologies.
• Basic understanding of cell biology and in vitro experimentation.
• Personal Skills: Teamwork - Critical thinking and problem solving - Scientific writing and oral presentations - Research Ethics and Integrity - Collaborative knowledge generation - Flexibility in scientific approaches and collaboration - Strategic thinking and vision-setting. 

Language Requirements:

• English: Full working proficiency.
• Spanish: Basic level desirable.
• Catalan: Basic level desirable.

Proyecto de tesis: Sistemas catalíticos sostenibles para la producción de hidrógeno verde a partir de metodologías guiadas por inteligencia artificial

La línea de investigación en la que se enmarca este proyecto se fundamenta en (i) la búsqueda de nuevas técnicas de síntesis y formulaciones de catalizadores de bajo impacto ambiental, (ii) su implementación en electrodos altamente eficientes y (iii) en el desarrollo de plataformas y técnicas de muestreo electroquímico de alta capacidad (high-throughput screening) a partir de métodos de análisis basados en inteligencia artificial, para la selección y optimización de formulaciones y estructuras que conduzcan a sistemas catalíticos altamente electroactivos.

El proyecto contempla el desarrollo de nuevas metodologías de fabricación mediante deposición en fase vapor y procesado de recubrimientos electroactivos, compatibles con estrategias de síntesis combinatoria para la obtención de familias de compuestos con composición y nanoestructura de alta actividad catalítica. Asimismo, se contempla el diseño, fabricación y puesta a punto de una plataforma automatizada de análisis espectroelectroquímico que permita el estudio sistemático de muestras.

El proyecto implica el uso de metodologías y herramientas quimiométricas guiadas por inteligencia artificial para el análisis automático de los datos masivos obtenidos de la caracterización físico-química, estructural y electroquímica de las familias de catalizadores sintetizados. Los sistemas catalíticos óptimos se ensayarán en condiciones reales de operación en electrolizadores semiindustriales de membrana de intercambio aniónico para producción de hidrógeno verde.

Offer Description

The Antimicrobial Discovery Lab at the "Instituto de química física Blas Cabrera (IQF-CSIC)" is offering a 3-year PhD position.

The proposed project is part of an international consortium (the Open Source Antibiotics project) aimed at identifying inhibitors capable of acting on multiple enzymes that are essential for bacterial survival.

The work will initially focus on Mur ligases from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, although other enzymes will also be considered.

The work associated with this position will begin with the study of MurC, MurD, MurE and MurF, exploring conditions that favour homogeneous conformations and facilitate crystallisation in the presence of inhibitors.

The main objective is to generate crystallographic structures of Mur ligases in complexes that are relevant for the rational design of inhibitors.

Progress will be evaluated periodically, and an alternative project may be incorporated if necessary.

Intensive, specialised work will be required to optimise protocols, study protein–ligand interactions, and analyse the resulting data.

This calls for the recruitment of a highly qualified candidate (Master's degree) to carry out the scientific objectives.

A training programme has been designed for the selected candidate, which will include basic biochemical techniques, protein expression and purification, crystallography, and the study of protein–ligand interactions using biophysical, enzymological and computational methods.

The execution of these tasks will provide the candidate with specialised training, as well as generate scientific results that will be presented in the form of a PhD thesis.

For this reason, the position will be offered as a predoctoral contract and will be extended until completion of the doctoral thesis (initially estimated at 3 years).

The selection of candidates will be carried out through the CSIC "bolsa de empleo" portal, therefore they need to have the Spanish residency.

For more information and to send expressions of interest, please contact Laura Díaz-Sáez (****** ).

Expressions of interest should be accompanied by the applicant's CV and a motivation letter.
