PREDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION IN THE QBCSM GROUP

Job Summary

The Quantum Beams & Computation for Sustainable Materials Group at the Materials Physics Center is offering a four-year predoctoral position, to work with Prof. Felix Fernandez-Alonso and collaborators in Donostia and elsewhere.

Job Description

This position is an integral part of project Towards Tunable Nanoporous Assemblies – Emerging Opportunities for Carbon-based Molecular Materials, funded by MICIU/AEI /10.13039/501100011033 and FSE+ via grant awards PID2023-146442NB-I00 and PREP2023-000253. The selected candidate will be hired by the Research Association MPC – Materials Physics Center. The post is available effective immediately, with a salary (before taxes) of 17.398,20 euro during the first year. The fellowship also includes allowances to cover tuition fees and travel.

This position represents an excellent opportunity to join a diverse and multidisciplinary group of 10+ researchers at the Materials Physics Center. The primary focus of the project is to deploy and develop state-of-the-art radiation-scattering techniques (neutron, X-rays) alongside computational materials modelling to explore the properties of an emerging class of carbon-based materials exhibiting so-called “extrinsic porosity,” with a view to novel applications in gas sequestration and energy storage. These research efforts involve close ties with leading international facilities for condensed matter research, where the bulk of the experimental work will be performed.

Candidates with an MSc degree (or equivalent) in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science or related discipline are encouraged to apply. Experience in radiation-scattering techniques and/or computational materials modelling would be an asset.
