About this position

Postdoctoral opening at the University of Warsaw, Faculty of Chemistry, in the Laboratory of Bionanostructures for a project on surface-functionalized lipid-based nonlamellar nanoparticles as carriers for peptide antibiotics.

The research is led by dr hab. Ewa Nazaruk and focuses on the interaction of prepared carriers with model bacterial membranes, preparation and characterization of lipid nanostructures, and surface-functionalized versions incorporating antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Methods mentioned include SAXS, DLS, fluorescence spectroscopy, confocal microscopy, and optionally electrochemical techniques such as EIS and QCM.

This is a full-time temporary postdoc position starting in December 2026/January 2027 for 12 months with a possible extension. The salary is 140,000 PLN brutto-brutto. The project is financed by NCN and is not funded by an EU programme.

Eligibility highlights: a PhD in chemistry or related sciences by the first day of work, experience in experimental research and scientific publications, practical lab skills in lipid membranes/nanostructures, teamwork and interdisciplinary collaboration, and English at B2 level. The competition also requires compliance with Article 113 of the Polish Higher Education and Science Act.

How to apply: send a CV, cover letter, two reference letters, and a list of publications, scholarships, and awards to [email protected]. The deadline is 14 October 2026, 23:59 (Europe/Warsaw).
