About this position
Aragon Nanoscience and Materials Institute (INMA), part of the University of Zaragoza / CSIC environment in Zaragoza, Spain, is advertising a PhD position in the SEVEN project. This pre-announcement concerns a full-time doctoral contract of up to 4 years, with a planned start date of 1 October 2026. The project is funded through an ERC Starting Grant under the Horizon Europe framework.
The research sits at the intersection of nanomedicine, biomedicine, and nanotechnology. The selected PhD candidate will work on the creation and characterisation of nanoparticle-loaded vectors and extracellular vesicles (EVs) designed for tumour/metastasis targeting. A major part of the project is the deep study of the biomolecular corona that forms around EVs in biological environments, including how its composition, kinetics, and surface topography change under different physiological and pathological conditions.
The SEVEN project aims to understand why EV-based therapies have struggled to reach clinical practice and to use that knowledge to develop improved therapeutic vectors that accumulate more effectively in metastatic tissues. The successful candidate will participate in both the engineering of EV-based systems and experimental studies of their interaction with biological media and disease-relevant environments.
Applicants should hold a Master’s degree or equivalent. Suitable academic backgrounds include Biotechnology, Biology, Chemistry, or a related discipline. Engineers and nanotechnologists with a strong interest in biological applications may also be considered. Strong English communication skills are required.
Applications should be sent by email to María Sancho Albero at [email protected], together with a motivation letter. This is a pre-announcement; the official call is expected in the second half of August 2026. The application deadline listed is 14 September 2026 at 12:00 (Europe/Madrid).
