The Martin Pumera Group at CEITEC, Brno University of Technology, is offering fully funded PhD positions in advanced materials, nanorobotics, and green energy. These positions are ideal for highly motivated students interested in cutting-edge research at the intersection of materials science, nanotechnology, and biomedical/energy applications. The group is internationally recognized for its innovative work and provides access to state-of-the-art facilities and interdisciplinary collaborations.

Three main PhD topics are available: (1) Advanced Materials and Interfaces for Electrochemical Ammonia Synthesis Toward Green Energy, focusing on the design of catalysts and electrode architectures for sustainable ammonia production; (2) Nanorobots for Targeted Brain Cancer Therapy, involving the development of magnetically actuated nanorobots for precision cancer treatment; and (3) 3D Printing of Nanorobot-Enhanced Functional Foods and Drugs, which explores the integration of engineered nanorobots into biocompatible matrices for advanced food and pharmaceutical applications.

Applicants should have a background in materials science, chemistry, physics, biomedical engineering, nanotechnology, or related fields, and be motivated for experimental research. No career break after MSc is allowed. Experience with electrochemistry, nanomaterials, micro/nanorobotics, or biointerfaces is advantageous but not required.

The positions are fully funded with a minimum net salary of 1,100 EUR per month. The research environment is international and collaborative, with opportunities for interdisciplinary work and professional development. For more information about the group and research topics, visit nano.ceitec.cz.
