Scientific area: Biomedical Engineering, Biological Engineering, Biochemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Materials Sciences, Chemical Engineering, or similar.
Skills/Qualifications/Admission requirements: The candidates must have a MSc degree in Biomedical Engineering, Biological Engineering, Biochemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Materials Sciences, Chemical Engineering, or similar.
The candidates must be enrolled in a PhD program or, alternatively, in a non-degree course in areas related with the aim of this position such as scientific research, statistical analysis or similar.
Should have knowledge in immunofluorescence, RNAish, confocal microscopy, image quantification and transcriptomics.
“Courses not conferring an academic degree” must be related to the research fellowship’s activity type. “Courses not conferring an academic degree” are the courses referred to in paragraph e) of number 3 of article 4 of Decree-Law no. 74/2006, of 24 March, in the current wording, provided that they are developed in association or cooperation between the higher education institution and one or more R&D units, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph e) of article 3 of the Regulation for Research Fellowships of the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT).
Although the recipients must be enrolled in a cycle of studies leading to the attribution of an academic degree or in a course not conferring an academic degree, at the time of application it is not necessary for the candidate to have made such an enrollment, and proof of enrollment must be presented until the fellowship is contractualized. Candidates are only required to meet the requirements to enroll in the training offer. If there are candidates already enrolled (including attending a course), they compete on an equal footing with those who are not enrolled.
Work plan/ Objectives: The candidate will characterize the anti-aging effect of a medical device coating. Knowledge in immunofluorescence, RNAish, confocal microscopy, image quantification and transcriptomics is a requirement.
Regime: The attribution of the fellowship does not generate or entitle a relation of a legal-labour nature, and the fellowship is undertaken in an exclusive dedication regime. The fellowship holder is awarded the Fellowship Statute of the UC, in its current wording, according to the Research Fellowship Holder Statute , and according to the Regulation for Research Fellowships of the Foundation for Science and Technology, both in their current wording.
Location: UC-Biotech, Cantanhede at the University of Coimbra.
Duration: 6 months.
Renewal: Eventual renewable.
Scientific orientation: Lino da Silva Ferreira.
Financial conditions: The amount of the fellowship is € 1199.64 corresponding to the monthly compensation stipulated in the FCT table (https://www.fct.pt/en/financiamento/programas-de-financiamento/bolsas/ ), plus social security (Seguro Social Voluntário, first level contributions) and personal accidents insurance. The payment will be made by bank transfer. This amount will not be increased during the entire period of the fellowship duration.
