Job description
- You prepare a doctoral thesis in the field of “Creating structural and physico-chemical control to enhance properties of hybrid periodic mesoporous metal phophonates”. Hybrid organic-inorganic materials add organic functionality to inorganic material properties. Research on periodic mesoporous metal phosphonates is scarce due to the complexity of controlling the materials properties during template assisted synthesis. We aim at creating the required fundamental knowledge to control their structural and physico-chemical properties by revealing the impact of precursor type and amount, synthesis conditions and kinetics of condensation. In addition, developing strategies to solve the often reported need for stabilization.
- You publish scientific articles related to the research project of the assignment.
- You contribute to teaching and research in the Faculty of Science.
Profile and requirements
- You hold a master degree in Chemistry, Material Chemistry, Bio-engineering or related fields with a strong background in inorganic material synthesis and analysis.
- You can submit outstanding academic results.
- Students in the final year of their degree can also apply.
- Your academic qualities comply with the requirements stipulated in the university’s policy.
- You are quality-oriented, conscientious, creative and cooperative.
- The emphases in your teaching correspond to the educational vision of the university.
- You are a team player, willing to collaborate with other partners involved in this project.
- Experience in materials synthesis and characterization is encouraged.
