Marie-Curie Fellowship in Nanochemistry: Heraklion, Greece
By Thripthi • May 30th, 2009 • Category: Chemistry, Fellowships, Material Science, Nanotechnology
Marie Curie ToK-DEV Fellowships (MTKD-CT-2006-042459) in “Colloidal Nanocrystals Synthesis”
Two (2) EC funded postdoctoral positions are available at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser at FORTH as part of the Marie Curie Host Fellowship for Transfer of Knowledge (ToK) program NANOTAIL, ”Hybrid nanocrystals exhibiting advanced and tailored properties”.: • Colloidal nanocrystals synthesis
Context:
The overall objective of the project is to design and develop new multi-functional nanocrystals, to understand their formation, their assembly and their properties. You will engage in the synthesis and characterization of complex, electronically active, solution-grown nanocrystals presenting anisotropic shape. Research topics entail optimization of the structure of such nanomaterials (involving transition metal oxides, II-VI semiconductors etc.) for modern technologies, ranging from magneto-optical data recording to biological sensing/labeling.
The project aims to further your skills via cooperation with our Partner Institutes at:
• National Nanotechnology Laboratory, CNR, Lecce (ITALY);
contact person: Dr. Davide Cozzoli (davide.cozzoli [at] unile [.] it)
• Centre d’Elaboration de Materiaux et d’Etudes Structurales, CNRS, Toulouse (FRANCE);
contact person: Dr. Etienne Snoeck (snoeck [at] cemes [.] fr)
Qualifications and Application Procedure:
You should have a PhD degree in Chemistry, Materials Science or other related field and be keen to integrate within an interdisciplinary and multinational team. Good skills in wet-chemistry techniques are mandatory. Possible experience in spectroscopic characterization methods will be an advantage.
To apply (Deadline: 6 July 2009) please send a short statement of research interests and experience, CV, publication list and arrange for the submission of at least one (1) letter of recommendation, to:
Dr. Alexandros Lappas; Functional Nanocrystals Laboratory [1], Institute of Electronic Structure & Laser, Foundation for Research & Technology – Hellas (FORTH), Vassilika Vouton, 71110 Heraklion, Greece.
Informal discussions are welcome:
E-mail: lappas [at] iesl.forth [.] gr, Phone: +30 2810 391300.
E-mail: davide.cozzoli [at] unile [.] it, Phone: +39 0832 298231.
Salary, Terms, Eligibility:
The salary will be approximately €41,000 per annum (includes tax and social security payments), plus mobility allowances. Each position is immediately available, with duration of 1 year.
Applications are open to citizens from within EU member or associated states. FORTH is an equal opportunity employer. For eligibility criteria see the Marie Curie for ToK Handbook [2].
