The **System Chemistry Group **at **IMDEA Nanociencia** is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join our team. This position is part of a European project aimed at obtain dissipative supramolecular polymer bundles by activating/deactivating monomers. This project will serve as an integrative platform to bring together so far disjoint concepts in Supramolecular Systems Chemistry and Swarm Robotics, to bring us closer to biological-like functions in fully artificial chemical systems.
- Perform microfluidic experiments to quantify the dynamics of single fibers consisting of supramolecular polymers
- Use fast X-Ray super-resolution microscopy techniques
- Characterization of supramolecular polymers using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS) couple with liquid or gas chromatography (LC-MS, and GC-MS), infrared spectrometry (IR), and elemental analysis (EA) and super-resolution imaging techniques.
- Lab-scale prototyping
- Supervise PhD and MSc students.
- Work closely with the principal investigator and team members to maintain a high level of scientific productivity.
- Prepare, present, and report research results and publish scientific results in key peer-reviewed journals in due time.

**CANDIDATE PROFILE**
- PhD Degree in Chemical engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or related fields.
- Solid background in light-driven systems
- Hands-on experience in lab-scale prototyping.
- A committed team player.
- A highly motivated and autonomous person dedicated to conducting high-quality research.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.

**WHAT WE OFFER**
- We are offering a 2-year contract and advantageous professional development opportunities with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs.
- Flexible working hours promoting work-life balance and self-organization.
- On-site work model with the option to telework.
- Full access to cutting-edge laboratory facilities and characterization platforms.
- The incorporation to a top research Centre in Europe that makes high quality research and impactful contributions to the energy and sustainability fields.
- Professional and personal development: opportunity to attend seminars, international conferences, training courses, etc.
- Integrated, enthusiastic, international and multidisciplinary environment.
- A welcome program that offers help with finding accommodation and addresses other aspects to help you integrate into the local environment (such as assistance with the administrative procedures).

**TO APPLY**
- A cover letter highlighting their interest in the position.
- Curriculum vitae including publications list.
- A short description of previous research (1-2 Pages).
- Recommendation letter of, at least, one past former principal investigator.

This contract is in the framework of the proyect SUPRABOT (101087514 — Suprabot — ERC-2022-COG)
- IMDEA Nanociencia is committed to affirmative action, equal opportunity, and the diversity of its workforce._
