Your position
Topic of research: Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) are promising for environmental remediation like CO2 capture and toxic metal absorption. We take the approach of controlling the oxo clusters building blocks before assembly into MOFs. We care about stability of the MOFs under real conditions. This is a versatile project that takes you from inorganic synthesis to materials characterization and application of oxo clusters and MOFs.Your profile
Candidates must have completed bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemistry. Alternatively, a Master in Nanoscience or chemical engineering (with a sufficient chemistry component) is also acceptable. The research group works mainly in English, and a good working knowledge of both written and spoken English is required.We offer you
