1 week ago
Overview We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate with a PhD in synthetic chemistry for a 3-year specified purpose position as senior post-doctoral researcher. The advertised position will be part of the Frontiers for the Future Award, Research Ireland funded project entitled “Constrained Bismuth / (Precious) Metal-free Scaffolds for Ammonia Activation”. The recruited senior postdoctoral researcher will be involved in the development of new concepts that combine organic ligand design with d- and p-block chemistry aiming at the preparation of new catalysts pertinent to the activation of ammonia.
Responsibilities Develop new concepts that combine organic ligand design with d- and p-block chemistry to prepare catalysts for ammonia activation.
Work with air- and moisture-sensitive compounds using Schlenk line and glovebox techniques; handle, purify and characterize them using state-of-the-art methods including 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, heteronuclei), single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
Contribute to the Frontiers for the Future Award, Research Ireland funded project entitled “Constrained Bismuth / (Precious) Metal-free Scaffolds for Ammonia Activation”.
Collaborate on related research activities within the project and publish results in peer-reviewed journals.
Qualifications PhD in synthetic chemistry or closely related field.
Extensive experience in organic (ligand oriented) and organometallic/organo-main group synthesis (Schlenk line and glovebox techniques).
