We are looking for a highly motivated synthetic organic chemist preferably with additional expertise in polymer and/or supramolecular chemistry. The research project lies at the interface of polymer chemistry, materials chemistry, and supramolecular chemistry. It focuses on the design, characterization, and applications of aromatic hydrocarbons and graphene-like structures for gas separation. Required skills: • Ph.D. Degree in organic/polymer from a recognized university. • 1-5 years of research experience in advanced organic/polymer synthesis. • Demonstrated record of expertise in modern synthetic organic chemistry including carrying out reactions under inert atmosphere (i.e. Schlenck techniques). • Acquaintance with microwave synthesis and advanced purification and isolation techniques. • Excellent communication and computer skills. • Fluent in English. Preferred skills • Hands-on C-C and C-Z cross coupling reaction methods. • Knowledge of polymer and/or supramolecular chemistry. • Experience in advanced spectroscopic and surface analyses techniques. • Familiar with bibliographical search engines. • Good publication record. Responsibilities: The successful candidate is expected to execute and actively participate in the success of the research projects. The successful candidate will be also expected to: • Assist in the design and the planning of laboratory experiments. • Support the principal investigator in their research projects particularly in the area of synthetic organic chemistry. • Prepare inventories for equipment, chemicals, and supplies. • Follow-up the acquisition process of supplies and equipment and will be part of decision-making regarding the purchase of new instruments.
