Přehled

We at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Czech Academy of Sciences (IIC CAS) are searching for new members to work on interdisciplinary project devoted to reactivity of highly Lewis acidic boron cations as luminescent sensors, small molecule activators and catalysts.

The researcher will be responsible for design, synthesis and characterization of boron compounds and contribute to ongoing project at IIC CAS. During the course, the applicant will master advanced synthetic methods, handling air-sensitive compounds using Schlenk techniques and glovebox including its characterization and evaluation as promising materials for molecular sensing and catalysis.

We require

  • M.Sc. in Inorganic or Organic Chemistry
  • Experience in Organic, Inorganic or Organometallic synthesis
  • Expertise in structure elucidation of organic compounds (NMR, MS, IR)
  • Independent and proactive attitude
  • Courage and readiness to learn new things and solve unique problems
  • Fluent English (knowledge of Czech language is not required)
  • Eligibility to PhD study programme of Inorganic Chemistry at Charles University in Prague, where formal education will take place. For conditions see: https://bitly.cx/JX50

We offer

  • Initial fixed-term contract for one year, with the potential of extension for another three years
  • 5 weeks holiday, flexible sickdays
  • Support from Czech Academy of Sciences, the largest research institution in Czech Republic
  • Subsidized accommodation near the place of work or in Prague
  • Holistic approach, space for your creativity
  • Friendly and supportive environment
  • Opportunity to join the research group at an early stage and participating on its growth

Place of work: Řež near Prague, Czech Republic (ca 20 minutes by train from Prague city centre)

Deadline for application: 24th of November 2024, the expected start date of the study April 2025.
