| Job description
|
- We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow (PDF) with strong research experience in controlled release systems, biomaterials, based delivery platforms for applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals.
- The candidate will work on the development, characterisation, and evaluation of novel biomaterial-based delivery systems aimed at achieving targeted, sustained, and environmentally friendly release profiles.
|
| Responsibilities
|
- Design, synthesise, and optimise biopolymer/biomaterial-based delivery systems for drugs.
- Develop nano/microparticles, hydrogels, coatings, or encapsulation matrices for controlled and stimuli-responsive release.
- Conduct physicochemical characterisation (FTIR, SEM, TEM, DSC, TGA, XRD, rheology, etc.).
- Study drug/agrochemical release kinetics, stability, biodegradation, and interaction with biological or agricultural environments.
- Design, synthesise, and optimise biopolymer/biomaterial-based agrochemicals (pesticides/fungicides/ fertilisers).
- Develop nano/microparticles, hydrogels, coatings, or encapsulation matrices for controlled and stimuli-responsive release.
- Conduct physicochemical characterisation (FTIR, SEM, TEM, DSC, TGA, XRD, rheology, etc.).
- Perform in vitro, and when applicable, in vivo or soil/plant-based evaluations of the developed systems.
- Analyze data, prepare research reports, and publish findings in high-impact journals.
- Assist in mentoring Undergraduate students in the lab/classes and also assisting or designing experiments for Phd scholars (if required).
