Open postdoctoral position in the group of Pascal Bertsch at the University of Fribourg, within the ERC Starting Grant project GI-CORONA. The project investigates how dietary lipids and lipid-based drug delivery systems interact with the complex biochemical environment of the gastrointestinal tract, and how these interactions affect lipid digestion and drug delivery. A central goal is to understand the formation and biological function of the gastrointestinal biocorona on liquid lipid interfaces...

About this position

This postdoctoral opening is part of the MIST project at the Department of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, at Poznan University of Medical Sciences. The project focuses on the development of lipid nanoparticles for the pulmonary delivery of siRNA using Soft Mist Inhalers, combining microfluidic nanoparticle manufacturing, advanced physicochemical characterization, Design of Experiments, and artificial intelligence-assisted optimization.

The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary research team and contribute mainly to Work Packages WP1 and WP2. The research centers on the design, preparation, optimization, and characterization of siRNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles, with a clear emphasis on formulation strategy development and reproducible delivery systems for inhaled RNA therapeutics.

The work includes formulation design for nucleic acid delivery, preparation of lipid nanoparticles using microfluidic technologies, and systematic optimization of formulation and process parameters. The postdoctoral researcher will also evaluate relationships between composition, manufacturing conditions, and critical quality attributes, while helping develop the experimental logic behind the project’s formulation pipeline.

Another major component of the role is characterization of the nanoparticles using analytical and physicochemical methods such as particle sizing, zeta potential analysis, encapsulation assessment, stability studies, and related laboratory techniques. The postdoc will also analyze results, document experiments carefully, prepare scientific reports, contribute to publications, and present findings at conferences.

The position is led by Prof. Paulina Skupin-Mrugalska, PhD, DSc, and includes close collaboration with two PhD students and other project members. The research environment is therefore both collaborative and interdisciplinary, with responsibilities spanning experimental design, laboratory work, data interpretation, and mentoring support within the project team.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent in pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, pharmaceutical engineering, chemical engineering, biotechnology, nanotechnology, or a related discipline. They must have documented research experience in lipid nanoparticles or related nanocarrier systems, strong theoretical and practical knowledge of microfluidic nanoparticle production, and hands-on experience with physicochemical and analytical techniques such as DLS and HPLC. A good understanding of formulation development, experimental optimization, and data analysis is required, together with a publication record appropriate to career stage. Excellent written and spoken English at minimum B2 level, strong scientific writing and presentation skills, good organizational ability, and the capacity to independently design, conduct, document, and evaluate experiments are required. Candidates should be proactive, scientifically curious, able to work independently and collaboratively, and willing to relocate and work in Poland if applicable. NCN eligibility rules also apply, including the timing and location conditions for the doctoral degree, restrictions on other NCN salary support, no concurrent employment outside higher education/science, and no retirement pension.
