2 positions Research assistant (postdoc) (m/f/d)

Nanoporous thin films of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are to be produced and investigated. These films will be loaded with ionic liquids (ILs) and the properties of the IL@MOF films will be investigated. The aim is to gain a better understanding of the interaction and dynamic properties of the guest molecules and ions in the nanopores, especially under the influence of an external electric field. Various spectroscopic techniques are used for this purpose. The work is part of the ERC project DYONCON. You will work in a multidisciplinary and international environment, in close collaboration with the group and our external partners.

PhD and Master's degree in chemistry, physics, materials science, chemical engineering or a related subject

Desirable:

• Experience in one (or more) of the following areas is beneficial: metal-organic frameworks; adsorption and diffusion; ionic liquids; membrane separation, electrochemistry and/or
  electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
• A strong motivation for research and good experimental skills
• You must have excellent written and oral English skills and organizational skills. In addition, German language skills would be an advantage, but are not required.
• You should have the ability to work both independently and in a team.
