The Nanobiosystems Group at CIC nanoGUNE is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to contribute to cutting-edge research in medical microrobotics, with a focus on cell-based therapies for lung cancer treatment. Our interdisciplinary project combines micro/nanofabrication, biomedical engineering, and pre-clinical research, spanning both in vitro and in vivo models.

The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic team advancing the frontiers of targeted cancer therapies using smart, biologically integrated microrobotic systems.

 Key Responsibilities:

• Design and fabrication of micro- and nanocarriers for the transport of biomolecules and single cells in biologically relevant environments
• Development of microfluidic platforms that mimic in vivo conditions to optimize carrier performance
• Implementation and testing of microrobotic systems in small animal models
• Support on the supervision of PhD students and proposal writing

 Candidate Profile:

• A university degree in biomedical engineering, biotechnology, or electronic/mechanical engineering, and a PhD in natural sciences or a related discipline
• Proven experience in medical microrobotics, particularly in the context of targeted cancer therapy
• Hands-on expertise in clean-room technologies such as soft lithography, two-photon lithography, and microfluidics
• Excellent written and spoken English communication skills
• A proactive, enthusiastic attitude and genuine interest in translational biomedical research
• Experience in vivo models and possession of a valid mouse handling certificate are highly advantageous

We offer a vibrant, multidisciplinary and international research environment at one of Europe’s leading nanoscience institutes, located in the beautiful city of San Sebastian, in Spain. We also offer access to state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure and the opportunity to contribute to high-impact research with clinical relevance and collaborative opportunities with academic, clinical, and industrial partners.
