PhD position in organic and main-group chemistry starting in Nov 2023
- Chimie
Description du sujet
Context
In the framework of the ERC consolidator project “B-yond” financed by the Horizon Europe programme (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101044649), a PhD position is available in the Reactivity, Catalysis and Organometallic (RCO) chemistry research group (Prof. Berionni) at the chemistry department of the University of Namur (www.unamur.be/en/sci/chemistry).
Job description
As a PhD researcher with good theoretical and practical knowledge in main-group and organometallic chemistry, you will investigate the development of synthetic routes towards new geometrically constrained Lewis acids. This PhD project aims in particular at developing new classes of boron Lewis acids and investigating their coordination with nitrogen containing molecules (NH3, nitriles, amines, etc).

Profil du candidat
Skills/Qualifications
Very good knowledge and excellent experimental skills in preparative purification techniques and structural characterization of organic molecules (NMR, GC-MS, IR, UV-Vis) is expected. Excellent communication ability in English (written and oral). Good knowledge of French is a plus.
She/He should be autonomous, motivated for fundamental research, and with team spirit. During the PhD program, the successful candidate will acquire the necessary expertise to perform organic and organometallic synthesis, handle highly reactive species (Schlenk-line and glove-box techniques). Good competences in the use of common software and databases (Word, Excel, ChemDraw, Scifinder, Reaxys). Ability to integrate and work in a research team. Sense of initiative, responsibility and organization.
Specific Requirements
The ideal candidate is a talented and motivated researcher with a master 2 degree in organic, organometallic or coordination chemistry obtained less than one year ago. Very good knowledge and experience in preparative purification techniques, handling of highly reactive species (Schlenk-line and glove-box techniques) and structural characterization of organic and organometallic molecules is expected.
