The Ucam-Sens Unit And Multifunctional Molecular Materials Group At Umu Are Recruiting A Phd Student

.The UCAM-SENS unit and Multifunctional Molecular Materials Group at UMU are recruiting a PhD studentIn a collaborative project between the UCAM-SENS unit and the Multifunctional Molecular Material's Group at University of Murcia (MMM), we aim to transform HealthCare, Sports, Environmental and Food Science by the development of analytical tools for the in situ and automatized monitoring of organic compounds of relevance. The UCAM-SENS is a scientific unit that strives for the true digital transformation of key domains such as Health, Sport, Food, and the Environment by using advanced (bio)chemical sensing based on electrochemistry and imaging principles. The Multifunctional Molecular Materials Group at University of Murcia focuses on the design, synthesis, and study of organic molecules to be applied in organic electronics, supramolecular self-assembly and sensing. The UCAM-SENS unit and MMM Group have merged their expertise in electrochemistry and analytical chemistry and organic electronics to build up a convergence project to investigate new monitoring actions in Sport and Healthcare settings. The project will be held both at the HiTech (Health, Sport, and Innovation Hub) research building and UMU laboratories, in an international, multicultural and multidisciplinary environment where people, ideas, knowledge, and necessities meet together to pose and address new societal challenges.The PhD student candidate must preferably have a multidisciplinary background:Hold an Engineer/Licentiate bachelor's degree (Chemistry, Environmental Science, Civil, other), and a completed M.Sc. degree in related fields. For non-Spanish bachelor's degrees, please, convert the Bachelor's and master's final marks to the Spanish system.Demonstrated experience in one or more of the following fields: organic chemistry, organic electronics, electrochemistry, supramolecular chemistry, chemical sensors, electroanalysis. Please, attach publications and/or master's thesis related to the above experience.Advanced English level (B/6). General SkillsTo succeed as a doctoral student at UCAM-SENS/MMM Group you need to be goal-oriented and persevering in your work. During the selection process, candidates will be assessed on their ability to: independently pursue his or her work,collaborate with others, have a professional approach andanalyse and work with complex issues.Advanced English levelAfter the qualification requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities and personal suitability.What we offerThe possibility to obtain a PhD degree in a dynamic and international research environment.A workplace divided into small clusters supervised by a senior researcher.Monthly salary according to PhD student salary agreement in the UCAM
