1. PhD degree in chemical sciences, obtained in the year of employment in the project or within 7 years before 1 January of the year of employment in the project, and no later than the start date of employment in the project. For researchers with multiple PhDs, the date of the first PhD award is deemed the reference date. Extension might apply according to National Science Centre, Poland, rules (this period might be longer due to family reasons according to NCN rules);
2. Additionally, the candidate for the postdoctoral position must meet the following conditions: she/he did not have PI Anna Śrębowata as her/his research supervisor or auxiliary supervisor of her/his PhD dissertation.
3. Publication record and rich (mobility) scientific experience;
4. Ability to work independently as well as in a group;
5. Experience in heterogeneous catalysis;
6. Experience in the catalytic reactions in the liquid phase;
7. Experience in the field of standard physicochemical characterization methods (XPS, XRD, SEM);
8. Experience in X-ray absorption spectroscopy is welcome
9. Experience in the synthesis of single-atom catalysts is welcome;
10. Knowledge of using Origin software will be an asset
11. Ability to communicate fluently in English (written and spoken);
12. Strong motivation to work and pursue scientific questions, creativity, and analytical thinking;
Candidate needs to meet formal requirements:
The successful candidate for the postdoctoral position shall, for the full term of their employment within the project, be obligated to maintain compliance with the following conditions:
- their PhD degree has been awarded by another institution than the one planned to employ them at this post or they have completed a continuous and evidenced post-doctoral fellowship of at least 10 months in another institution than the host institution for the project and in another country than the one in which they have been conferred a PhD degree
- when the remuneration is paid, they will be receiving no remuneration from the funds allocated as direct costs under research projects funded in NCN calls;
- when the remuneration is paid, they will be receiving no remuneration from another employer pursuant to an employment contract, including an employer with registered office outside of Poland; and
- when the remuneration is paid, they will be receiving no pension under the social insurance scheme
A post-doc type post is a full-time post, scheduled by the project’s principal investigator for a person who has been conferred a PhD degree in the year of employment in the project or within 7 years before 1 January of the year of employment in 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.

Project description:
The diamond in the crown of catalytic hydrogenation transformations is the chemoselective hydrogenation of C=C or C=O double bond in the substrate, which contains two or more functional groups like unsaturated ketones, aldehydes, or esters. Therefore, the main goal of the proposed project is to create a fundamental basis for the synthesis of novel and economical single-atom catalysts, active in continuous-flow hydrogenation of the precursors of relevance to the fine and pharmaceutical industries. This project is pioneer in two aspects: the synthetic part and the development of selective continuous-flow hydrogenation reactions catalysed by proposed materials. The implementation of the project includes successively the synthesis of the new class of catalysts to obtain nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials containing single-atom (Cu, Co, and Ni), investigation their activity and selectivity in continuous-flow chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. Our research will be focused on chemoselective hydrogenation of prenal to prenol
(unsaturated alcohol, an intermediate to pharmaceuticals and fragrances synthesis), chemoselective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde to cinnamyl alcohol (an important intermediate in cosmetics production) and chemoselective hydrogenation of citral towards citronellol (widely used fragrance used in cosmetics, and as a fragrance additive to washing powders and other cleaning agents) or to isomers: geraniol (chemical with antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties, suggested also to represent a new class of chemoprevention agents for cancer) and nerol (widely used in perfume synthesis). The planned research will allow to create a relationship between the structure, morphology, and physicochemical properties of new catalysts to optimize their performance for applications in continuous-flow hydrogenation. We are convinced that the proposed goals have a high potential for success, and the outcomes will be pioneering and of great significance for practical applications and fundamental science. This project is a part of the current global trend in green chemistry research, which is concentrated on affording simplified workup and large-scale synthesis (scalability), handling of various substrates in sequence with the same catalyst, and reduction of catalyst amount
Key responsibilities include:
Postdoc will be recruited to participate in all parts of the project, especially including:
• the thorough characterization of the catalysts by physicochemical methods,
• catalytic tests in a modern high-pressure reactor,
• scientific initiative and contribution through regular data analysis, 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.
