Job Description:
Postdoctoral Positions (ERC-CoG “BECAME”) in Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis
The Postdoctoral Research Associates will be involved in the ERC-CoG BECAME project, which aims to revolutionize catalysis by developing synergistic catalytic processes for the direct conversion of methane and other light hydrocarbons into high-value products through bimetallic catalysis. Key responsibilities include:
- Contributing to the mechanistic understanding and optimization of catalytic processes.
- Developing new catalytic processes for direct stereoselective alkane functionalization.
Starting Date and Term:
- Expected starting date: December 2023.
- Initial term: 2 years, with the possibility of extension.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should submit their applications directly to Prof. Farianas-Mastral at martin.fananas@usc.es with the subject line “BECAME_POSTDOC34.” Applications should include:
- A brief CV.
- Contact information for at least two professors or researchers who can provide references.
- Reference letters will be required for preselected candidates.
Deadline: October 31, 2023
Research Center: The research will be conducted at CiQUS, a leading research center affiliated with the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Learn more about CiQUS at www.usc.es/ciqus/en.
