Postdoctoral fellow

We are excited to offer a unique and challenging opportunity for a highly motivated individual to join our team as a postdoctoral researcher in the field of biomedical research in the context of the ERC starting grant “DYE-LIGHT” obtained by Prof. Sauvage . This position will be based in Ghent University (Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Belgium).
The primary focus of your research will be on investigating the use of dyes in combination with lasers to enhance drug delivery in ophthalmology. You will be responsible for designing and developing dye-loaded formulations to be applied in the eye in vivo, and will also be responsible for characterizing the motion of therapeutic particles in ocular tissues.
To support your research efforts, you will have access to a range of cutting-edge tools and technologies (advanced microscopy, flow cytometry, cell culturing), as well as several ex vivo models developed by the Ghent Group of nanomedicines. You will work in a collaborative and stimulating environment, surrounded by a team of highly qualified researchers and technicians.
If you are passionate about physics and biomedical research and eager to take on a challenging and rewarding role, we encourage you to apply for this position.
