西班牙研究委员会分子电子学研究博士后招聘职位

The researcher will be able to join to a pioneer, dynamic and active group from the
Department of NanoScience and Organic Materials (NANOMOL,
www.icmab.es/nanomol) that belongs to the Materials Science Institute of Barcelona
(ICMAB-CSIC) located at the UAB (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) research park.

Nanomol is a research group with wide expertise and recognized excellence in the synthesis,
processing and study of molecular and polymeric materials with chemical, electronic, magnetic
and biomedical properties. We continuously generate new knowledge in our basic and applied
research projects regarding the micro and nano-structuring of molecular materials. As a group,
we are actively involved in implementing nanotechnology and sustainable and economically
efficient technologies for preparing advanced functional molecular materials. Molecular
electronics is one of our research lines and our work is mainly devoted to the preparation of
molecular switches, molecular wires and spintronics and molecular rectifiers in solution and also
when they are immobilised on surfaces through self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). (Chem.
Sci., 2012, DOI: 10.1039/C2SC21134C; Nature Chemistry 2011, 3, 359; Nanoletters 2011, 11,
4382; J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 13556).

We offer a Postdoc contract to perform research in the emerging scientific
discipline of molecular spintronics. The main tasks will be the design, synthesis and
characterization of novel functional organic molecules for being integrated as active
components in molecular spintronics-materials. It will also imply the preparation and
characterization of hybrid materials mainly self-assembled monolayers on carbonbased
substrates (graphite and/or graphene). The work will be embedded in an OPEN-FET
European project.

The fellow must hold an international recognized PhD degree (or equivalent) in Chemistry or
Materials Science. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in organic synthesis
as well as in material sciences. Experience in surface science will be positively evaluated. An
interdisciplinary outlook is desired and will be encouraged. The successful candidates will work
in an international environment and might travel to other European countries to develop the
project.

Contract starting date: 1st January 2014 (The contract will be for one year extendable to
two)
