As a flagship research center in nanoscience and nanotechnology, our mission is to open and explore new frontiers of knowledge at the nanoscale, and bring value to society in the form of new understanding, capabilities and innovation, while inspiring and providing broad training to the next generations of researchers.
Our research lines focus on the newly-discovered physical and chemical properties that arise from the behaviour of matter at the nanoscale.
ICN2 has been awarded with the Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence distinction for three consecutive periods (2014-2018, 2018-2022, and 2023-2026).
ICN2 comprises 19 Research Groups, 7 Technical Development and Support Units and Facilities, and 2 Research Platforms.
Position: Postdoctoral Researcher Research area or group: Supramolecular NanoChemistry and Materials Group (NANOUP) Description of Group/Project: The Supramolecular NanoChemistry and Materials Group (NANOUP) is focused on controlling the supramolecular assembly of molecules, biomolecules and nanoscale building blocks at the nanometer scale for the design of novel functional architectures and devices.
The group is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to participate in the development of a European project (ERC Advanced Grant) related to the Design and Synthesis of New Materials via Programmable Disassembly of Reticular Materials (Clip-off Chemistry).
Main Tasks and Responsibilities: Synthesis and characterization of reticular materials.
Clip-off synthesis of new materials/compounds using these reticular materials as precursors.
Participation in writing scientific reports and papers, attending project meetings and scientific conferences, and in outreach activities within the project.
Supervision of PhD students.
Requirements: Education: PhD Degree in Chemistry (essential requirement; no CV will be evaluatedwithout this requirement).
Experience: Photochemistry or biocatalysis (with enzymes) is an essential requirement (no CV will be evaluated without this requirement).
Reticular Chemistry (design, synthesis and characterization of MOFs or COFs) will be positively evaluated.
Personal Competences: Intrinsic motivation, strong commitment, fluent in English, good communication skills, responsibility, independence.
Summary of Conditions: Full time work (37.5h/week) Contract Length: 1 year Salary will depend on qualifications and demonstrated experience.
