The role

We are looking for a highly motivated student recently graduated or finishing a Master in Physics, Chemistry, or related fields interested in performing a PhD at the X-rays for Inorganic Biochemistry Laboratory (XIBL) of the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC).

X-ray techniques can provide chemical information with precise spatial resolution to understand the behaviour of therapeutic or diagnostic agents inside patients or cells. Still, biological organisms are not static entities and currently it is not feasible to use X-rays at will on biological samples, as they cause extensive damage to tissues, cells and biomolecules during irradiation. Therefore,...
