Sara Borrell Contract - Nanotechnology and Diagnosis Project of emerging viruses
Place: National Microbiology Center (Carlos III Health Institute, Madrid)
Duration: 3 years
Previous call: AESI 2025 (late 2025 / beginning of 2026)
--
Interested postdoctoral researcher is sought to request a Sara Borrell contract within the next strategic action in intramural health (AESI 2025).
The candidate will be incorporated into a line focused on the development of dendritic nanosystems applied to the diagnosis of viral infections, within the framework of the projects "Dendritic nanosystems applied to the diagnosis of viral infections”, “A New Frontier: Dendritic Nanosystems for Emerging Viral Infection Diagnosis” y “Dendritic nanosystems applied to the diagnosis of the western Nile virus (Denawest)”.
The objective is to design and optimize rapid, sensitive and affordable diagnostic methods based on nanotechnology for high sanitary impact viruses, such as hepatitis C, dengue and western Nile virus.
Orientative profile of the candidate
- Doctorate obtained after January 1, 2021 (with exceptions according to the call).
- Competitive CV, with relevant publications (max. 10 articles Q1/D1 evaluable).
- Participation in research and/or postdoctoral mobility projects.
- If the thesis was carried out in the ISCIII, at least 12 months of post -doccorated in another center is required.
- Previous experience in nanotechnology, viral diagnosis or biosensors will be valued.
