${\eta }_c$-nucleus bound state energies are calculated for various nuclei. Essential input for the calculations, namely the medium-modified D and $D^{⁎}$ meson masses, as well as the density distributions in nuclei, are calculated within the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. The attractive potentials for the ${\eta }_c$ meson in the nuclear medium originate from the in-medium enhanced $D{D}^{⁎}$ loops in the ${\eta }_c$ self-energy. Our results suggest that the ${\eta }_c$ meson should form bound states with all the nuclei considered.
