The role
The laboratory of Biomaterials and Biomedicine at BCMaterials is seeking a highly motivated Predoctoral Researcher for the project "Channelopathies on chip to decipher the link between plasmatic lipid profiles and cardiac failure (PATHOS)" PID2025-173286OB-C31, funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
The candidate will work on the stimulation of cardiac cells (wild-type and carrying mutations in the ion channels) using electro- and magnetoactive composites. To this end, the researcher will define the cell response to the physical stimulation in terms of functionality and lipid metabolism. The candidate will also participate in the optimization of the stimulation materials and devices.
We offer a one-year contract. After an evaluation of the candidate's performance, if the results are positive, the researcher will be hired for two more years. It is estimated that three years are enough to develop a PhD thesis.
About BCMaterials
BCMaterials, the Basque Center on Materials, Applications and Nanostructures, is an autonomous materials research center launched in June 2012 by Ikerbasque and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). It is part of the BERC (Basque Excellence Research Centers) network and counts 131 researchers (105 staff researchers plus 26 associates), with 241 Scopus indexed publications in 2025 and around 5,800,000 € in funding, 99% of it competitive.
The center generates knowledge on the new generation of smart, active and multifunctional materials and turns it into (multi)functional solutions and devices for the benefit of society. Its strategic areas cover environmental prevention, remediation and monitoring; energy generation and storage; digitalization and emerging technologies such as sensors and actuators for the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0; and biomedicine and biotechnology, including nanoparticle-based solutions and organ-on-a-chip approaches.
