About this position

CIC biomaGUNE is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Supramolecular Inorganic Biosystems (SInBioS) Group in the ARGIPrism project. The project develops multifunctional photoactive metal–organic supramolecular assemblies for biomedical applications, combining molecular recognition, photodynamic activity, photocatalysis, and drug delivery in structurally defined systems.

The research will focus on designing and synthesising photoactive metallaprisms based on Au(III) and Pt(II) coordination nodes. The researcher will investigate how molecular structure, supramolecular assembly, and functionalisation affect photophysical properties, singlet-oxygen generation, stability, aqueous solubility, and molecular recognition. Targeting strategies will be explored to support the development of systems relevant to chemical biology and biomedicine.

Responsibilities include preparing organic ligands and coordination compounds, optimising discrete self-assembled architectures, and purifying and characterising new compounds using NMR, mass spectrometry, UV–Vis spectroscopy, chromatography, and related methods. The researcher will also study absorption and emission behaviour, excited-state properties, photochemical processes, and structure–property relationships.

The postdoctoral researcher will work at the interface of coordination chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, photochemistry, and chemical biology. Collaboration will involve host–guest chemistry, DNA recognition, photocatalysis, and biological activity studies. The role also includes scientific data analysis, maintaining experimental records, preparing manuscripts and presentations, and contributing to the supervision of junior researchers where appropriate.

CIC biomaGUNE is a multidisciplinary research centre located in the Science and Technology Park of Gipuzkoa in Donostia-San Sebastián, with international research groups and advanced infrastructure supporting molecular imaging, bionanomaterials, synthetic bioengineering, and related research.

Funding details

Full-time fixed-term employment contract for 12 months, subject to applicable legislation and confirmed research funding. The position is funded within the ARGIPrism project, funded by the Gipuzkoa Provincial Council.

What's required

PhD in Inorganic Chemistry, Coordination Chemistry, Supramolecular Chemistry, Photochemistry, or a closely related discipline. Applicants should have a strong research background in the synthesis and characterization of coordination or organometallic compounds; experience in supramolecular chemistry or self-assembled molecular systems; experience with transition-metal complexes, particularly Pt, Au, or related metals; familiarity with NMR, mass spectrometry, UV–Vis spectroscopy, chromatography, and photophysical characterization; ability to conduct synthetic research independently; strong analytical, problem-solving, scientific communication, and academic writing skills in English; ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary collaborative environment; and evidence of scientific productivity through peer-reviewed publications. Desirable experience includes singlet-oxygen measurements, photoactive Pt or Au complexes, coordination-driven self-assembly, porphyrin chemistry, photodynamic therapy, host–guest chemistry, and interactions of molecular or supramolecular systems with nucleic acids.

How to apply

Apply through the CIC biomaGUNE “Apply to this Job Offer” button. Submit a motivation letter, an updated CV including publications, and the contact details of two academics who can provide references; the application should also include a one-page statement of research interests and alignment with the team’s activities.
