Postdoctoral Position in Belgium, University of Antwerp
Designation/Position- Postdoctoral Position in Belgium
University of Antwerp, Belgium invites application for Postdoctoral Position in Belgium from eligible and interested candidates
About- The vacancy is situated in an H2020 ERC Consolidator grant 3D Structure of Nanomaterials under Realistic Conditions (REALNANO). The overarching goal of REALNANO is to establish the structure-property connection of nanomaterials under realistic conditions. Tracking 3D changes of nanomaterials and their surface ligands in a thermal and gaseous environment is therefore required. We will develop innovative and quantitative 3D characterisation tools, compatible with the fast changes of nanomaterials that occur in a realistic thermal and gaseous environment. To visualise surface ligands, we will combine direct electron detection with novel exit wave reconstruction techniques. Postdoctoral Position in Belgium
