Center for Molecular and Nanoarchitecture (MANAR) is about creating new 3-dimension (3-D) crystalline porous materials (MOFs & ZIFs,…) for energy, environment, biomedicine and catalysis applications. To support our activities we are seeking a highly motivated postdoc.

Your main tasks will be:

• Conduct research, analysis, synthesis, and experimentation on new three dimension extended porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs). Study their applications in clean and sustainable energy, environmental, catalysis and biomedicine.

• Preparation of single crystals and structure determination using X-ray crystallography, including X-ray diffraction data collection/processing/analysis and structure solution/refinement.

• Confer with scientists regarding research, and prepares scientific journals and national and international presentation.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Chemistry, Material Science, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry.

• A strong skill in crystallization of organic compounds is required, including both single crystal growth and bulk preparation

• Expert in experimental planning, data analysis, application of technical knowledge to answer questions within project scope.

• Good communication skills in English, both written and spoken.

The position is available from February 1, 2014, and the initial appointment is for 1 year, with an option of extension for up to three years.
