About this position
PhD opportunity in Chemistry / Physics at CNRS, France
This PhD thesis focuses on the development of a hybrid magnetic nanoplatform for intracellular RNA delivery. The project is hosted by CNRS and carried out at the PHENIX laboratory in the Inorganic Colloids team at Sorbonne University, in collaboration with Claire Wilhelm at the PCC laboratory, Institut Curie, for studies involving extracellular vesicles.
The research sits at the interface of chemistry, physics, chemical physics, biophysics, nanoscience, and biology. The main goal is to design a hybrid system combining magnetic liposomes, fusogenic lipids, and extracellular vesicles to improve RNA transport into the cytosol while reducing endosomal trapping and degradation. Planned work includes preparation and physicochemical characterization of magnetic liposomes, their association with extracellular vesicles, and evaluation of RNA delivery performance.
Eligibility highlights: the ideal candidate is a chemist with interest in formulation and biomedical applications of nanomaterials. Helpful background includes physical chemistry of dispersed systems, formulation, lipid chemistry, or nanomaterials. A Master’s degree or equivalent in Chemistry or Physics is required, and basic French is expected.
Location: Paris 05, France. Start date: 1 Dec 2026. Deadline: 9 Oct 2026 at 23:59 UTC.
How to apply: submit an application via the CNRS vacancy page. The post also links to the Euraxess listing for additional details.
