Selected fellowship holder will act at the Molecular Engineering for Advanced Materials Research Center (CeMol), new CEPID-FAPESP based at CNPEM
The Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) opens a selection process for 1 (one) FAPESP Postdoctoral Fellowship, linked to the Molecular Engineering for Advanced Materials Research Center (CeMol) — CEPID/FAPESP.
The selected fellowship holder will work on the characterization of biomolecular coronas in nanomaterials, colloidal stability in complex biological media, and biological and toxicological effects in vitro; using advanced integrated management techniques such as electron cryo-microscopy, omics analysis, synchrotron light and computational approaches.
The selected candidate will also be responsible for integrating experimental and theoretical results, to collaborate in the writing of scientific articles, in addition to supporting the supervision of undergraduate and graduate students.
Candidates may apply until September 30, 2025.
Candidate requirements
- Completed PhD in Chemistry, Biology or similar area;
- Experience with experimental work in Nanomaterials Chemistry, Synchrotron Light and Cell Biology;
- Advanced knowledge in nanobiointerfaces and nanotoxicology;
- Scientific writing and skills for multidisciplinary teamwork.
Interested candidates should send an email to cemol@cnpem.br, by October 5, 2025, with the subject “PD NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY Fellowship – [First and Last Name]”. The email must contain:
- Complete CV, with link to Lattes;
- Cover letter describing previous experience and motivation for the fellowship.
Fellowship
The value of the fellowship is R$12,570.00 per month. Additionally, the fellowship holder will have a Technical Reserve, corresponding to 10% of the annual value of the scholarship, intended to cover unforeseen expenses directly related to the activity plan.
