Postdoctoral Researcher in Chemistry: The Department of Chemical Sciences at Padua University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a multidisciplinary project focusing on organic molecules or materials for photocatalytic applications. The position is funded through the EU Research Framework Programme Horizon 2020 and offers a full-time, temporary contract.
Postdoctoral Researcher in Organic and Supramolecular Chemistry
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area:
- Chemistry » Molecular chemistry
- Chemistry » Organic chemistry
- Chemistry » Physical chemistry
Location: Padua University, Department of Chemical Sciences, Via Marzolo 1, 35131 Padova, Veneto, Italy
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD in Chemistry or a relevant area (completed or thesis submitted before the start date).
- Experience in organic synthesis, electrochemistry, spectroscopy (UV-vis, FL, etc.), materials chemistry, or microscopy is desirable.
- Strong independent research skills, ability to write/correct reports and manuscripts in English.
- Ability to contribute to ongoing research projects and train new group members.
Job Description: The successful candidate will join a recently established research group and work on developing small molecules that undergo self-assembly and can be used as photo-functional materials. The project aims to integrate organic chemistry and catalysis knowledge for solar energy conversion. The researcher will have access to all necessary facilities for synthetic organic chemistry, self-assembly, materials characterization, and photocatalysis.
