The **System Chemistry Group **at **IMDEA Nanociencia** is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join our team. This position is part of an European national project aimed at developing supramolecular robots based on single fiber bundles. 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.
- Develop microfluidic experiments to get control over nucleation and achieve single supramolecular robots motility.
- 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.
- 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 or Chemistry.
- 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.
- Good 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._
