Opis stanowiska
We are pleased to announce an opening for a post-doctoral research position within the Opus 22 project, funded by the National Science Center, titled „Sequence-Regulated Polymer Self-Assembly Towards Materials Mimicking Living Systems” (grant no. 2021/43/I/ST4/01294). This project is led by Prof. UAM Dr. hab. Róża Szweda at the Centre for Advanced Technologies, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań.
Project Objective:
The project explores the frontier of polymer chemistry, where advances in synthesis now allow for precise control over monomer sequences with biological-like precision. To harness these materials for practical applications, a sustainable and efficient approach must be developed.
The study focuses on understanding how sequence-defined macromolecules can be programmed to fold into specific 3D structures through the selection of suitable monomeric building blocks, akin to natural macromolecules.
Nasze wymagania
- documented experience in preparative organic synthesis
- hands-on experience in chromatographic methods (GC, HPLC, Flash)
- knowledge of basic spectroscopic methods used to identify organic compounds (NMR, FTIR, CD, UV-vis, Fluorescence)
- ability to design and perform syntheses of organic compounds
- ability to prepare the text of a scientific publication and present the results
- knowledge of computer programs such as Origin, Mendeley, MNova
- The competition is open to individuals who meet the requirements specified in Article 113 of the Law on Higher Education and Science of 20 July 2018 (Journal of Laws of 2024, item 1571, Article 113 as amended) and who meet the following requirements:
- ● obtained a doctoral degree in an entity other than the entity where employment in this position is planned, or completed at least 10-month, continuous and documented postdoctoral internship in an entity other than the entity implementing the project and in a country other than the country of obtaining the doctoral degree;
- ● during the period of receiving this remuneration, candidates will not receive remuneration from another employer under an employment contract, including from an employer based outside Poland.
- ● obtained a doctoral degree in the year of employment in the project or in the period of 7 years before January 1 of the year of employment in the project. This period may be extended by the time spent on long-term (over 90 days) documented sickness benefits or rehabilitation benefits due to incapacity for work. Additionally, this period may be extended by the number of months spent on leave related to the care and upbringing of children granted under the terms set out in the Labor Code, and in the case of women - by 18 months for each born or adopted child, if this method of indicating breaks in a scientific career is more favorable.
