Job Details

Project title:

Nanofiber-based sponges for atopic skin treatment (Nano4Skin)

The project is carried out within the FIRST TEAM programme of the Foundation for Polish Science
 

Project description:

Skin diseases are one of the most common human illnesses that cause a huge burden in the global context of health. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic eczematous skin disease that usually begins in childhood and often is combined with allergy problems. The current treatment is not able to support long-term curing effects, therefore the exploration and development of new strategies for skin regeneration are needed. The aim of this FIRST TEAM project funded by Foundation for Polish Science is to understand and control liquids release from nanofiber patches for atopic or allergic skin. With newly designed patches, we want to provide the best way to control the release of curing substances from nanofibers. The project includes the production of patches using electrospinning technique to produce polymer nanofibers and study their surface properties and liquids release from various designs.

 

Key responsibilities include:

  1. Confocal and fluorescence microscopy
  2. Sample preparation for confocal microscopy
  3. Microscopy imaging and analysis
  4. Surface characterization
  5. Nanofiber production via electrospinning
  6. Cell culture study
  7. Attendance in international conferences and meetings
  8. Performing high-quality research
  9. Writing scientific reports and publications

 

We offer:

  1. 2.5-years funding within the FIRS TEAM project from Foundation for Polish Science, a monthly salary  of 7 500 PLN brutto (part time 50%, 0.5 FTE)
  2. The project provides unique opportunities for interdisciplinary research in the field of materials science, physics, chemistry and biology within international collaborations with recognized academic institutes and universities in USA.
  3. Working on high-class research equipment with experienced staff

AGH University is a top technical university in Poland located in a beautiful and very international city, Kraków

Candidate should be fluent in English and have PhD degree or is about to obtain it with the final submission of PhD thesis

 

Application deadline:

9th of February 2019
