The Laboratory of Materials Science Applied to Pharmacy (CMAF) of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Araraquara invites applications for a post-doctoral fellowship (FAPESP fellowship), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Leila Aparecida Chiavacci Favorin.<\/p>\n
The group has been working in a multidisciplinary and collaborative way with research groups in Brazil and abroad, offering possibilities in the area of development of nanoparticles with antimicrobial action.<\/p>\n
Summary of the Project to be developed:<\/strong><\/p>\n This project proposes to use the combination of inorganic nanosystems, polymeric nanoparticles, lipid nanoparticles and also organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposites to develop polymeric nanosystems or devices that contribute to combating multi-resistant strains of bacteria or fungi, in order to improve the stability and body distribution of the systems to be developed.<\/p>\n Candidate requirements:<\/strong> PhD in Pharmacy, Chemistry, Materials Science, Engineering, or related fields.<\/p>\n In general, candidates are expected to have:<\/strong> Specifics of the scholarship:<\/strong><\/p>\n Synthesis and Characterization of Polymeric and Lipid Nanoparticles containing inorganic nanoparticles with antimicrobial action.<\/p>\n Scholarship Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n Scholarship implementation is contingent upon the approval of the selected candidate by FAPESP, in accordance with the Foundation’s current regulations for Postdoctoral Fellowships. If the decision is favorable, the candidate will receive:<\/p>\n FAPESP Postdoctoral Fellowship, currently valued at R$ 12,570.00 per month;<\/p>\n
