Position: doctoral student employed in the disciplin of biology
In the project: ” HEATDDR – Harnessing the DNA Damage Response to improve plant tolerance to heat stress” (HORIZON-MSCA-2023-DN-01, project number: 101169110)
Unit implementing the project: Faculty of Natural Sciences – University of Silesia in Katowice
Unit of education of a doctoral student: Doctoral School at the University of Silesia in Katowice
[PhD student’s tasks]
We are looking for highly motivated Doctoral Candidate (DC) to fill positions in University of Sielsia, Poland, in our Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Doctoral Network HeatDDR. Partners laboratories are located in France, Germany, Belgium, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Italy.
Career development and international mobility of researchers is a key concept within the MSCA-DN framework. The combination of academic training in cutting-edge techniques with intensive interactions with non-academic partners who are directly involved in plant breeding will prepare DCs for the challenges ahead in developing sustainable crop production strategies and enhance their employability in both the academic and the non-academic sectors.
Research will be carried out in the frame of the project „ HEATDDR – Harnessing the DNA Damage Response to improve plant tolerance to heat stress” (HORIZON-MSCA-2023-DN-01, project number: 101169110), financed by the European Union under the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks programme.
Scholarship Duration: 48 Months
Amount of scholarship: according to the project tasks
Documents should be submitted by 25.06.2025 to the e-mail address: miriam.szurman@us.edu.pl

Unit implementing the project: Faculty of Science and Technology – University of Silesia in Katowice
Unit of education of a doctoral student: Doctoral School at the University of Silesia in Katowice
[PhD student’s tasks]
The aim of the research will be the fabrication and detailed characterization of the nanometric properties of layers of ultra-stable organic glasses prepared by the technique of physical vapor vaporization. The tested materials will be medicinal substances with antifungal activity for applications in medicine and pharmacy. The project is experimental and will be based on various experimental techniques enabling the fabrication of nanometric organic layers and the characterization of their physical properties, such as dielectric spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry.
