5. Familiar with heterogeneous catalysts.’ characterization techniques such as: microscopic imaging (SEM and HRTEM), XPS, XRD, chemisorption techniques, DR UV-Vis, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, photoluminescence as well as AFM/STM, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy techniques. Moreover, experience is desired in sonochemistry and flow reactors design/modeling.
6. Ability to communicate fluently in English (written and spoken).
7. Strong motivation to work and pursue scientific questions, creativity, and analytical thinking.
8. Research experience in related fields will be advantageous.
9. Experience in leveraging best practices from research community;
10. Experience in supervising and teaching students.
Design/modeling of the methods for piezophotocatalysts' preparation, partially responsible for materials synthesis, their characterization and testing, results elaboration and discussion, help with the organization of the project scientific activities, publications/conferences preparation, bibliographical data searching/analysis.
Basic responsibilities are as follow:
• Scientific initiative and contribution through regular reporting and publishing, as well as presenting at group meetings, national and international conferences;
