Job Summary
The Water Research Center at New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to recruit a Post-Doctoral Associate to develop calixnarene-based covalent organic frameworks for water purification under the supervision of Professor Ali Trabolsi Professor of Chemistry and co-PI at the Water Research Center.
The successful candidate will develop new calixnarene-based covalent organic frameworks for water purification applications. To explore this area of macrocycle-based porous frameworks for water contaminant removal the candidate will be involved in the directed synthesis of organic macrocycle containing linkers and porous frameworks and then investigate the supramolecular interactions with various organic pollutants. This would require knowledge in the design and synthesis of porous frameworks particularly in techniques such as Schlenk line glove box powder X-ray diffraction electron diffraction electron microscopy and porosity analysis. The candidate is expected to have a thorough understanding of the analytical techniques used to characterize the materials. Experience in the application of such materials to water treatment is preferred. The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of PhD scientists graduate students and undergraduate students.
Applicants must have a PhD in chemistry or materials science. Excellent experimental and synthetic skills relevant to the project (particularly synthesis of covalent organic frameworks) are required.
The terms of employment are very competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. To be considered all applicants must submit a cover letter curriculum vitae transcript of degree a one-page summary of research accomplishments and interests and at least 2 letters of recommendation all in PDF format.
