Job Summary
The position is available for 1 year with the possibility for extension.
The candidate will participate in a national project funded by the CAPeX Pioneer center( The project involves design synthesis characterization and testing of molecular transition metal coordination compounds as electrocatalysts for oxidation and reduction reactions. The research will focus on:
- Developing synthetic routes to robust new chelating and bifunctional ligands.
- Employing advanced spectroscopic electrochemical and X-ray diffraction and fluorescence techniques in the investigation of structurereactivity relationships.
- Performing and analyzing electrocatalysis experiments using gaseous reagents and/or products.
- Analytical chemistry e.g. GCMS HPLC and ECMS.
- Designing immobilization strategies.
- Collaborating on mechanistic and computational studies.
- Collaborating within the CAPeX pioneer center
The successful candidate will join a dynamic research environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities and strong collaborative ties across inorganic coordination organometallic and enzyme chemistry. Expected competences include a strong experience in organic synthesis and coordination chemistry electrochemistry and electrocatalysis and a solid background in structural and spectroscopic methods of characterization.
The supervision of undergraduate and graduate students and some undergraduate teaching can be expected.
