POSTDOC POSITION - FLUIDICS

Offer Description
The System Chemistry Group at IMDEA Nanociencia is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join our team. This position is part of a European project aimed at obtain dissipative supramolecular polymer bundles by activating/deactivating monomers. This project will serve as an integrative platform to bring together so far disjoint concepts in Supramolecular Systems Chemistry and Swarm Robotics, to bring us closer to biological-like functions in fully artificial chemical systems.
Main responsibilities of the candidate will include:
Perform microfluidic experiments to quantify the dynamics of single fibers consisting of supramolecular polymers
Use fast X-Ray super-resolution microscopy techniques
Characterization of supramolecular polymers using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS) couple with liquid or gas chromatography (LC-MS, and GC-MS), infrared spectrometry (IR), and elemental analysis (EA) and super-resolution imaging techniques.
Lab-scale prototyping
Supervise PhD and MSc students.
Work closely with the principal investigator and team members to maintain a high level of scientific productivity.
Prepare, present, and report research results and publish scientific results in key peer-reviewed journals in due time.
CANDIDATE PROFILE
PhD Degree in Chemical engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or related fields.
Solid background in light-driven systems
Hands-on experience in lab-scale prototyping.
A committed team player.
A highly motivated and autonomous person dedicated to conducting high-quality research.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
WHAT WE OFFER
We are offering a 2-year contract and advantageous professional development opportunities with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs.
Flexible working hours promoting work-life balance and self-organization.
On-site work model with the option to telework.
Full access to cutting-edge laboratory facilities and characterization platforms.
The incorporation to a top research Centre in Europe that makes high quality research and impactful contributions to the energy and sustainability fields.
Professional and personal development: opportunity to attend seminars, international conferences, training courses, etc.
