We
seek candidates for a tenure track position with specialty in
nanosynthesis and non-equilibrium chemistry. The candidate needs to
be fluent in both oral and written English and will work on projects
aimed at the creation of smart and stimuli-responsive nanomaterials.
It is highly desirable that the candidate has working experience with
(i) nanosynthesis of metal and semiconductor nanostructures; (ii)
synthesis of nanoporous materials such as MOFs; (iii) transport
phenomena with emphasis on reaction-diffusion systems; (iv) material
characterization techniques ranging from various electron microscope
modalities, through XRD, to XPS and NMR spectroscopies. In addition,
familiarity with the basic aspects of non-equilibrium phenomena,
switchable molecules, light-driven and electrochemical processes is
expected. The candidate will combine these fundamental skills to
synthesize novel nanomaterials capable of dynamic assembly, internal
reconfiguration, energy harvesting, and more.
