A Ph.D. in molecular (organic) chemistry is required by the start date of employment.
The preferred candidate should have:
• Demonstrated experience with physical chemistry techniques (thermodynamic and kinetics monitoring of species in solution, analysis of equilibria within complex/multiphasic systems)
• Experience with solid characterization techniques / Mechanochemistry
• The ability to design and conduct research addressing fundamental scientific questions
• Expertise in characterization techniques, including ICP-OES, UV-VIS/NMR and potentiometric titration
• Knowledge in molecular organic chemistry, theory of solid-liquid-gas phase equilibria, coordination chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, physical chemistry and electrochemistry
• Experience in structural characterization of solutions and solids, including e.g. FTIR, UV-VIS, ssNMR,
• Familiarity with data processing and design of experiments approach
• Excellent analytical problem-solving skills
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Experience with proposal writing, technical writing, and presentations
Two or more scientific journal publications demonstrating applications of the above experience and skills is a plus.
The initial term of the appointment is 24 months from the date of hire. The gross monthly salary will be between 2,300 – 2,500 euros depending on experience.
For full consideration, applicants must upload the following materials with their application: 1) a cover letter (one page or less) summarizing their qualifications and research interests, 2) a complete academic CV, and 3) the names and contact information for at least 2 references.
Application review will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Research will be conducted at the DOUA Campus of the University Claude Bernard, Villeurbanne FR in the Applied Supramolecular Chemistry group of the ICBMS.
