Role details
The Polymers and Soft matter Group at CFM is offering a postdoctoral position (1 year) starting in November, 2026 to work with Dr. Silvina Cerveny, in collaboration with Dr. Ester Verde and Dr. Gustavo Schwartz. The Polymers and Soft Matter Group (PSMG) at CFM is a highly international research group of physicists, chemists, and materials engineers, combining diverse expertise in synthesizing, characterizing, and modeling polymers and soft materials for applications including sustainable water remediation. The group is deeply embedded in the Basque Country research community and actively collaborates with other leading centers.
This postdoctoral position offers a unique opportunity to gain experience in a highly interdisciplinary environment that brings together polymer chemistry, photocatalysis, sustainable materials, and artificial intelligence at the forefront of scientific research. The postdoctoral position focuses on the development of a sequential water remediation system that combines photoactive polymeric nanoparticles with green pectin-based adsorbents optimized by artificial intelligence. The successful candidate will synthesize, characterize, and optimize ionically crosslinked pectin adsorbents to selectively capture the degradation products of ciprofloxacin and methylene blue.
In addition, they will contribute to validating the integrated system in complex matrices and real water samples, and to studying its regeneration, reuse, and long-term stability.
