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.

The Future Energy and Innovation Lab at Brno University of Technology, led by Professor Martin Pumera, is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to join their international team. The group’s research is at the forefront of micro- and nanorobotics, electrochemistry, and functional nanomaterials, including 2D materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides. Advanced fabrication techniques, including 3D printing and microfabrication, are integral to their work, with broad applications in biomedicine, energy, and environmental science. Ideal candidates will have expertise in micro/nanorobots, active matter, catalytic, magnetic, or light-driven systems, electrochemistry (including sensing, electrocatalysis, and energy storage/conversion), 2D materials, materials chemistry, colloids, surface functionalization, or the fabrication of functional materials and devices. The lab offers a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and international environment, with a strong publication culture and access to state-of-the-art CEITEC Nano characterization and fabrication facilities. Researchers are encouraged to shape their own research directions and benefit from career-focused mentoring, as evidenced by over 30 alumni now leading their own labs. Applicants should hold a PhD in chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, or a closely related field, and demonstrate a strong motivation and publication record. The position is fully funded, though specific salary details are not provided. To apply, candidates should send their CV, publication list, and a short research summary to [email protected], with the subject line 'Postdoc application Future Energy & Innovation Lab'. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. For more information about the lab and its research, visit the Future Energy and Innovation Lab and CEITEC Nano websites.
