Nano4Tarmed,

prestigious EU´s Horizon 2020

Twinning project, is looking

for 3 PhD. “superstudents”

to join its research team!

What is Nano4Tarmed?  
NANO4TARMED is a prestigious Twinning project of EU’s Horizon 2020 programme led by doc. Vaclav Ranc, running from January 2021 until the end of 2023.  

It represents an interdisciplinary scientific cluster in which chemists, biologists and physicists bring their extensive expertise to reach a mutual aim—to deal with the fundamental issue of nanotechnology-driven anticancer drug delivery.  

Scientists from Research Center of Advanced Technologies and Materials (RCPTM; CZ), Maynooth University (NUIM; IE) and the Institute of Science and Technology for Ceramics (ISTEC; IT) came together to focus on development of a combination therapy based on simultaneous administration of two or more pharmacologically active agents with different modes of action using nanocarriers for the delivery.  

Who are we looking for?  
3 PhD. “superstudents” to become a part of N4T research team complying following:  

● You are a postgraduate student of natural sciences or medicine;
● You successfully finished your first year of Ph.D. study;
● You successfully passed at least one obligatory Ph.D. exam.  

What benefits are waiting for you?

● Long-term expert supervision
● 1-3 month long training at partners´institution in Ireland or Italy
● 2week long training at laboratories in Ireland and Italy
● 2week long-training at laboratories of external partners
● Grant proposal preparation training
● Technology transfer and business skills training  

The topics of training at laboratories will include drug synthesis, toxicology, data analysis, functionalization of platinum drugs, synthesis of anticancer drugs, cell-material interactions, 3D culture system and more.  

Selection procedure will take place in Spring 2022.  
To apply, send your CV and motivation letter to jana.kolarikova@upol.cz by the end of March 2022.
