We are selecting candidates for a PhD scholarship in Chemistry. The ideal candidates should have a MSc in Chemistry (or equivalent degree) by October 2024 with experience in chemical synthesis (synthesis of small molecules or polymers or nanomaterials, and their characterisation techniques, especially NMR spectroscopy).
The scholarship is funded by the EU Pathfinder Open project PLANT-ON, and it aims to develop photosynthetic protocells capable of producing formic acid as a precursor for molecular hydrogen from light, water, and CO2.
This is a 3-year position with a salary of ca. 1200 €/month. A period abroad of 3-6 months to learn new techniques to develop to the project could be arranged.
Description to the projects is available here.
Students who are interested in this opportunity should contact Prof. Gobbo directly (biomimeticmatter.lab@units.it) and send him a CV and a motivation letter where they (i) describe their background, and (ii) explain what they can bring to the project and how they would develop it. Deadline for applications: 7 June 2024.
