UiT The Arctic University of Norway has established «The Arctic MSCA-PF program» (uit.no/arcticmsca) to recruit excellent young researchers planning to apply for a Marie Skƚodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) to pursue a career in research. We invite applications from promising young researchers within the field of Pharmaceutical technology. The selected candidate will write a proposal for a 24-month MSCA-PF at UiT together with Ass. Prof. Ann Mari Holsæter. This is an opportunity to accelerate your research career while living in the urban research city of Tromsø.

This call is one of 33 from pre-selected supervisors at UiT The Arctic University of Norway through the “Arctic MSCA-PF program”. Successful postdoc candidates will be invited for a two-day MSCA-PF symposium June 10-11, 2026 (hybrid physical/digital event, see details at https://uit.no/arcticmsca/programstructure). At this event, the candidates will present their past research achievements, discuss future plans with their potential supervisor and learn how to write a successful MSCA-PF application. The selected candidates will, jointly with the supervisor, write the MSCA-PF application by the deadline of September 9, 2026.

In this call we search for talented, young researchers within the field of Pharmaceutical technologyas presented by Ass. Prof Holsæter:

My research is centered on the development of advanced drug delivery systems, with the goal of enhancing drug therapy through the creation of multifunctional formulations. These systems are designed to improve drug bioavailability, stability, and efficiency.

A significant focus of my work lies in nanoformulations, particularly in the characterization and testing of electrospun nanofibrous dressings for applications such as mucus drug delivery and wound healing, as well as the development of liposomes for both systemic and localized drug delivery.

The multifunctionality of these drug delivery systems is achieved through the innovative morphology and high surface area of the nanoformulations, combined with the incorporation of novel biopolymers and active ingredients.

I lead the electrospinning section within our research group, where we specialize in wire electrospinning of nanofibers and the application of "dual centrifugation" technology for the homogenization and size reduction of nanoparticles and liposomes. These core technologies are integral to advancing our research in this field.

Please send your CV (max 3 pages) and describe a research project that will strengthen and complement the presented research (max 2 pages) to ann-mari.holsater@uit.no by Feb 16th 2026. Mark your application "Arctic MSCA". Successful candidates will be contacted in late March 2026.
