About this position

Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, as partner P2 in the ARES project, is recruiting a part-time postdoctoral researcher for a fixed-term scientific position within the National Multidisciplinary Research Center of Excellence for Drug-Resistant Infections. The role is embedded in a consortium focused on antimicrobial research and translational development.

The successful researcher will design and develop lipid and vesicular nanostructured systems for the targeted transport and controlled release of antimicrobial compounds, including strategies aimed at crossing the blood-brain barrier. The project combines formulation development with optimisation through a Quality by Design / Design of Experiments framework, linking materials science, formulation science and biological evaluation.

Day-to-day work includes developing liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, nanoemulsions, extracellular vesicles, hybrid nanovesicles and cell membrane-coated nanoparticles. The researcher will also design targeting and functionalisation approaches for bacterial biofilms and intracellular transport, define critical quality attributes and process parameters, analyse response models, establish design space, and characterise formulations using advanced physicochemical and structural methods. The post also involves preparing protocols and reports, transferring formulations to consortium partners for antimicrobial and toxicological testing, and integrating biological feedback into formulation optimisation.

The position is based at UMFCD Rectorate in Bucharest and includes interaction with a multidisciplinary team in the ARES consortium. The postholder is expected to support the scientific workflow by guiding junior staff, publishing results, presenting at conferences and contributing to patent activity.

What's required

Completed bachelor’s (licence) university studies in Pharmacy, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology or related fields. PhD degree in Pharmacy, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology or related fields, with a thesis in the formulation and characterisation of drug delivery systems or a closely related field, obtained within the 5 years preceding the application deadline. Demonstrated experience in formulation and physicochemical characterisation of nanostructured drug delivery systems (solid lipid nanoparticles/NLC, liposomes, nanoemulsions, vesicular or polymeric systems) is required. Experience with DLS/ELS, NTA, electron microscopy/AFM, DSC, FTIR, encapsulation efficiency, in vitro release and stability studies is an advantage. Experience in experimental design and Quality by Design principles is an advantage. Experience with extracellular vesicles, cell membrane-coated biomimetic nanoparticles, targeting strategies such as blood-brain barrier, biofilms or intracellular transport, or antimicrobial compound formulation is an advantage. Experience quantifying active substances by HPLC or LC-MS is an advantage. Scientific activity demonstrated by Web of Science-indexed publications and/or research projects is required. Advanced English is needed for documentation, writing and consortium collaboration; a language certificate at minimum B2 is an advantage. Ability to organise experimental work, guide junior team members and work in multidisciplinary teams is required, with availability for part-time work of maximum 84 hours per month. Supporting documents include a PhD diploma or certificate confirming the doctoral title and a list of scientific papers.

How to apply

Apply through the UMFCD project recruitment webpage listed in the advert. Submit the application file by 16 November 2026 at 15:00 (Europe/Bucharest). Prepare for a file evaluation followed by an interview if shortlisted.
