3 PhD Scholarships, Charles University, Czech Republic (2016-2017)

Applications are invited for three PhD positions in high throughput discovery of layered functional materials “beyond graphene” as part of a European Research Council (ERC) granted project. You will have at least an Upper Second-Class Honours degree (or equivalent) in Chemistry – in particular a strong background and practical experience in (bio-)organic chemistry, polymer chemistry and advanced synthetic methods are required.

Description
Application Procedure (see http://web.natur.cuni.cz/orgchem/funanomat/index.php/jobs/phd-studentship/)

Applications should comprise:
*A completed applicant information form
*A copy of your full curriculum vitae
*A statement indicating the reasons for applying for this post and how your training and experience is relevant

Postgraduate research opportunities for ambitious candidates with at least an Upper Second-Class Honours degree (or equivalent) in Chemistry, Physics or Materials Science. Excellent students from a broad range of backgrounds with a strong interest in new materials are encouraged to apply. These three projects in the “Functional Nanomaterials” group involve the design and synthesis of new functional organic nanomaterials under an ERC Starting Grant (30 MM CZK; 1.4 MM EUR) and a GACR Junior Grant (6 MM CZK; 0.25 MM EUR) that combine experimental work with analytical studies and a strong collaboration with international partners. The overall aim of the project is to discover new frameworks and materials to address specific societal problems, such as clean energy and materials security.
