About this position

The Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde da Universidade do Porto (i3S) is seeking a Junior Researcher for the Neuroengineering and Computational Neuroscience research group in Porto, Portugal. The position contributes to LOCALISE, a project developing loco-radiolysed multimodal treatment strategies for glioblastoma, self-enhanced chemotherapy, and targeted RNA delivery.

The researcher will perform advanced microscopy to investigate therapeutic effects in cell cultures. The work includes quantitative viability assays and longitudinal live-cell fluorescence imaging to characterize treatment responses, inflammatory processes, and cell death. A second major focus is the evaluation of functional biocompatibility in neural cultures exposed to selected hydrogel formulations, including calcium imaging to assess neuronal activity.

The project combines neuroscience, neuroengineering, cellular models, therapeutic biomaterials, quantitative bioimaging, and computational image analysis. The researcher will work with fluorescence and confocal microscopy, automated image acquisition, Micro-Manager configurations, camera APIs, and image-analysis workflows. Development and use of ImageJ scripts and macros, morphometric analysis, and computational tools in Python and MATLAB are central to the experimental environment.

The position is embedded in i3S’s Neuroengineering and Computational Neuroscience research setting, offering an interdisciplinary context connecting neural biology, microscopy, biomaterials, glioblastoma research, and quantitative methods.

Funding details

This is a full-time Junior Researcher employment position with an uncertain-term contract and a monthly remuneration of €2,408.11, corresponding to index 33 of the Portuguese single remuneration table.
