Bolsa de PD em Materiais com Propriedades Antimicrobianas

Post-doctoral fellowship in Materials with Antimicrobial Properties

• Resumo Summary

  Bolsa de Pós-Doutorado
  Duração: 12 meses com possibilidade de prorrogação
  
  A proposta de pesquisa visa desenvolver microcristais associados à prata, em especial o fosfato de prata (Ag3PO4), com finalidade antimicrobiana. Para isso, os microcristais serão sintetizados e caracterizados, e sua atividade antimicrobiana será testada contra diversos microrganismos, entre bactérias e fungos. Adicionalmente, os microcristais sintetizados serão testados em relação à sua toxicidade in vitro em células humanas.
  
  Requisitos:
  - Conhecimento na área de desenvolvimento e caracterização de materiais funcionais aplicados à saúde.
  - Experiência nas técnicas de cultura de microrganismos, bem como em ensaios de atividade antimicrobiana.
  - Experiência nas técnicas de cultura de células e ensaios de citotoxicidade.
  
  Os candidatos deverão enviar, até 10/04/2017, os seguintes documentos para o Prof. Elson Longo (elson@iq.unesp.br), com cópia para Assessora Administrativa (rose.liec@iq.unesp.br):
  1) Carta apresentando seu interesse;
  2) Um CV resumido, apresentando formação acadêmica, publicações e informações que comprovem a sua experiência científica na área do projeto;
  3) Nomes e e-mails de duas pessoas como referência.

  Post-doctorate Fellowship
  Period: 12 months with possibility of extension
  
  The propose research aims to develop silver phosphate microcrystals Ag3PO4 with antimicrobial activity. For this, the microcrystals will be synthesized and characterized, and their antimicrobial activity will be tested against different microorganisms, between bacteria and fungi. In addition, the synthesized microcrystals will be tested for their in vitro toxicity in human cells.
  
  Experience in synthesis and characterization of bimetallic oxides as well as experience with microbiological analysis against fungal and bacteria are desired. Additional experience on development of multi species biofilms, cell culture and cell viability tests and assays in molecular biology is also desired.
  
  Interested candidates must send an e-mail to Prof. Elson Longo (elson@iq.unesp.br, cc to rose.liec@iq.unesp.br) with the following documents:
  1) Letter of interest for this position;
  2) Short CV containing academic degree, publications, and documents showing expertise in the field;
  3) 2 (two) letters of recommendation.
  
  Requisites for acceptance of application:
  The selected candidate must be ready to present the following documents to receive the scholarship:
  i) Application form;
  ii) Photocopy of national identity card or your country equivalent;
  iii) Photocopy of a valid passport for foreign citizens not resident in Brazil;
  iv) Photocopy of official academic certificate including your academic title and grades obtained, together with dates;
  v) Photocopy of academic degree or deposit made for issuance of degree;
  vi) Applicant updated short CV;
  vii) Report on your participation in the research project;
  viii) 2 (two) letters of recommendation;
  ix) Supporting documents of knowledge of English/Portuguese.
  
  This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationalities. The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP's Post-Doctoral fellowship in the amount of R$ 6.819,30 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 15% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent in items directly related to the research activity.
