About this position

Research Project: “ Advanced catalyst design for the sustainable production of chemicals from CO2 and light alkanes ”

This research project falls within the area of synthesis of nanostructured catalysts for application in the transformation of CO2 and light alkanes into high value-added products.

The research work has a multidisciplinary approach, combining materials synthesis, their characterization using spectroscopic techniques operando in conjunction with synchrotron radiation techniques, and kinetic studies. The objective is to define design strategies aimed at improving the activity and stability of supported metal-based materials, analysing structural reconstruction under reaction conditions, and identifying active sites, and thereby obtaining structure-activity correlations.

Requierements:

  • Bachelor degree in Chemistry/physics/Engineering. Score above 7/10
  • TFM
  • Experience in heterogeneous catalysis

Duration 4 year

Application Deadline until 24/11/2026

PhD in Genetic dissection of metastasis in a Drosophila colorectal cancer model

universitat de lleida · CMB

  • Lleida, Spain
  • Biological sciences

The project The project aims to use several colorectal cancer models developed in the lab to advance in the understanding of the cellular processes driving metastasis. About the group Our group, Drosophila models of disease and (epi)genetic analysis , located at the Biomedical Research Institute of Lleida (IRBLleida), is interested in understanding the complex choreography of gene expression driving cell plasticity of tumour cells and their adaptation to new microenvironments. We have generated metastatic and non-metastatic models of colorectal cancer in the adult gut of Drosophila based on th
