Postdoctoral Position in Supramolecular Materials: A highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral researcher is sought for a project focused on the chemically fueled self-assembly of functional supramolecular materials. This research aims to synthesize novel multi-component porous materials with controllable hierarchical self-assembly through continuous chemical fuel supply under diffusion-controlled conditions.
Postdoctoral Position in Dissipative Self-Assembly of Porous Supramolecular Materials
Designation
Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area
Chemically Fueled Self-Assembly of Functional Supramolecular Materials
Location
University of Barcelona, Spain
Eligibility/Qualification
- PhD in Chemistry
- Experience in organic synthesis and compound characterization
- Skills and expertise in supramolecular chemistry
- Proficiency in characterizing self-assembled materials using spectroscopy and microscopy techniques
