Description

The Vinca Institute, University of Belgrade, Serbia, announces the open Senior Scientist position for the MagBioVin project funded by the FP7-ERA Chairs-Pilot Call-2013 program. The prospective candidate has to be an internationally renewed researcher with a proven track record in high quality research on the synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles for biomedical applications.
The Vinca Institute (www.vinca.rs) is the largest R&D institute in Serbia with ca. 800 employees (ca. 300 PhDs). The MagBioVin Project is aimed at upgrading the Institute’s capacities for the highly specialized multidisciplinary research on activated magnetic nanoparticles and radionuclide labeled magnetic nanoparticles for application in biosciences, pharmacy and medicine.
The Senior Scientist position foresees a one-year full-time engagement with the possible extension up to three years. The position comprehends following responsibilities:
- Leadership in the upgrade of the knowledge and skills (up to the expert level) regarding synthesis of bio-compatible magnetic nanoparticles/ferrofluids in respect to composition, size distribution and colloidal stability;
- Collaborative research work in the multidisciplinary environment;
- Research on nanomaterials of interest that are based on nanoparticle 3d and rare-earths oxides, and stabilized ferrofluids for application in biomedicine;
- Preparation of new project proposals for future European and regional calls;
- Dissemination of results through publications in scientific journals , conference contributions, workshops, and promotional activities.
The candidate must be an internationally renewed researcher (of at least category R3 in the European Framework for research careers) in one of the following fields: physical chemistry, colloidal chemistry, biochemistry, or closely related fields. The advantage is a proven leadership experience in multi-disciplinary working environment. Fluent knowledge in English is mandatory.
Submitted application must include:
- Motivation letter
- Curriculum Vitae with:
­ Professional and education profile;
­ List of publications;
