Job Description:
Postdoctoral Positions in Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis
As a Postdoctoral researcher in the BECAME project, you will contribute to the development of groundbreaking catalytic processes for direct stereoselective alkane functionalization. This work will involve a deep understanding of organometallic catalysis, including mechanistic studies and optimization of catalytic steps. You will collaborate with a dynamic team of researchers and have access to state-of-the-art facilities at CiQUS.
Starting Date and Term: The expected starting date for this position is December 2023, with an initial term of 2 years, and the possibility of extension based on performance.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should send their applications directly to Prof. Farianas-Mastral at martin.fananas@usc.es. Please include a brief CV and indicate “BECAME_POSTDOC34” in the subject line of your email. Additionally, provide the names and email addresses of at least two referees who can vouch for your qualifications. Reference letters will be required for preselected candidates.
Deadline for Application: 31 October 2023
Join us at CiQUS and be part of a groundbreaking project that pushes the boundaries of organometallic catalysis and contributes to sustainable energy conversion! For more information about CiQUS, visit www.usc.es/ciqus/en.
