Nazwa jednostki: Instytut Chemii Fizycznej PAN – Warszawa, Inne oferty z tego miasta »
Nazwa stanowiska: post-doc
Wymagania:

• PhD degree in chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, nanotechnology, or sciences, obtained no earlier than 7 years before the starting year of the employment in the project (this period might be longer due to family reasons (according to NCN rules).

• Scientific experience in the fields related to the project.

• Ability to work independently as well as in a group.

• Profound knowledge of photochemistry and photophysics

• Ability to communicate fluently in English (written and spoken).

• Strong motivation to work and pursue scientific questions, creativity, and analytical thinking.

Required documents:
• employment application,
• motivation letter,
• professional curriculum vitae,
• university degree diploma and PhD certificate or document confirming the planned doctoral defence date (in the case of candidates before PhD),
• list of scientific achievements (publications, patents, conference presentations, etc.),
• two letters of recommendation written by a scientist in the field.

A post-doc type post is a full-time post, scheduled by the project’s principal investigator for a person who has obtained their PhD degree within 7 years before joining the project. This period may be extended by a time of long-term (in excess of 90 days) documented sick leaves or rehabilitation leaves granted on account of being unfit to work. In addition, the period may be extended by the number of months of a child care leave granted pursuant to the Labour Code and in the case of women, by 18 months for every child born or adopted, whichever manner of accounting for career breaks is preferable. The candidate is not eligible to apply if his/her doctoral degree has been awarded by the Institute of Physical Chemistry PAS (see competition documentation of the National Science Center (NCS) for the Sonata 18).

Opis zadań:

The objective of this project is to prepare and investigate self-assembled microcrystalline upconverting materials based on Covalent Organic Frameworks. The upconversion process will be confined to the COF’s single crystal. For this purpose, three types of building blocks will be incorporated into the organic framework: the photosensitizer and the emitter, directly participating in the upconversion process, and the inert unit, providing spatial separation between photoactive units. Such targeted self-ordered crystalline material will be used to study the parameters governing the upconversion process, such as impact of the orientation and distances of respective units and their concentrations. Within the project, the structural tunability of COFs will be used for investigation of COF architecture related effects influencing the upconversion efficiency. Their comparative physicochemical studies (stationary absorption, steady state and time-dependent emission, and determination of upconversion yield) on targeted organic crystalline materials will provide information regarding factors hampering or enhancing the upconversion efficiency in the organic crystalline materials.

Key responsibilities include:
• Spectroscopic characterization of materials, collected data analysis and interpretation;

• Scientific initiative and contribution through regular reporting and publishing, as well as presenting at group meetings, national and international conferences;

• Providing help and supervision to junior members of the group;

• Contribution to the efficient functioning of the lab, including necessary administrative tasks.

full-time employment

Sallary: ~ 9700 PLN/month gross


Planned period of contract is 6 months with possible extension up to 30 months


The successful candidate is expected to start work within the project on the March 2024. It is possible to change the starting date in the justified case (but no earlier than until 1st January 2024 and no later than 1 April 2024). 100% of the work time will be devoted to the realisation of the project. There are no teaching obligations. The post-doc would have access to supercomputer and specialized software in the Institute and on supercomputer of Poland (Polish Grid infrastructure).

The successful candidate will benefit in the form of new knowledge and methods added to his/her toolbox. The project deals with spectroscopy, nanophotonics, nanotechnology, physics, material sciences, and physical chemistry, so any candidate profile will find some new knowledge to be gained upon the realisation of the project.
We plan to publish the results of the work in high-impact factor journals.
The successful candidate will be able to take advantage of all programs in the IPC PAS, including Young Scientists of IPC PAS competition and Mobility of Young Scientists of IPC PAS competition. The Institute provides an opportunity to participate in ERASMUS+ program.
