Postdoc Position in Organic Functional Materials
Tasks
You will design and develop a variety of Nitrogenated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (N-PAHs) encoding functionalization that allows to study in collaboration their charged or excited-states on surfaces using time-resolved AFM/STM. Organic synthesis will be your everyday tool to tackle the challenges associated with achieving fine-tuned electronic properties and various self-assembled nanostructures of N-PAHs.
Your profile
You are an independent, curious, creative, and ambitious team player who enjoys interdisciplinary science, mastering new things, and rigorous experimental work. You possess:
- PhD degree in organic chemistry with a strong track record
- Strong background in organic synthesis, preferably with experience in the synthesis of N-PAHs or fused electron donor-acceptor (D-A) ensemble, including work under moisture- and oxygen-free conditions
- Solid experience with common analytical and purification methods (e.g., NMR, UV-Vis, Cyclic Voltammetry, HPLC, MS)
- Good command of written and spoken English
We offer
- Multi-facetted and interesting range of tasks with further education opportunities
- Progressive employment and social security provisions in accordance with cantonal guidelines
- Central location
We look forward to receiving your application by email to Write an email by August 31, 2024. It must include a letter of motivation (max 2 pages), a Curriculum Vitae, contact details of two references, and a research summary highlighting your experience with organic synthesis. Only complete applications compiled in a single pdf file will be considered.
