The group of Dr. J. Montenegro is seeking for a Postdoctoral associate with a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry and metal cluster synthesis for the preparation of new metal boron clusters with applications as conceptually new membrane carriers. This is an excellent opportunity to join the Montenegro lab and work in a multidisciplinary team in a great challenge for the development of a completely new field of research. The aim of the project is to prepare new metal and boron clusters for their application as chaotropic membrane transporters.
The applicant will be involved in the synthesis of new boron and other metal clusters for their connections to different organic molecules (e.g. fluorescent probes, antimicrobials) and their subsequent intracellular delivery by chaotropic transport.
• Starting from January 2024 (flexible), 1 year of contract with possible 1 + 1 (3 years total) extension.
• Applications should be sent directly to patricia.lago.rama@rai.usc.es and javier.montenegro@usc.es, as soon as possible and including a CV (maximum 2 pages), a complete list of publications and the name and the e-mail of two contact persons, indicating in the subject Postdoctoral Inorganic Clusters.
