PhD POSITION - MULTIFUNCTIONAL NANOMATERIALS FOR BIOAPPLICATIONS

Stillingsbeskrivelse:

NTNU - knowledge for a better world

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) creates knowledge for a better world and solutions that can change everyday life.

Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology

Department of Materials Science and Engineering

Jobbnorge ID: 123142

A PhD research fellowship in the field of synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of multifunctional inorganic nanomaterials is available. In this project, a combination of gas-phase and liquid-phase synthesis methods will be explored. This combination allows accurate control on the morphology, chemical composition, and size distribution of the nanomaterials and their nanocomposites. In addition, advanced characterization of the obtained nanomaterials and nanocomposites will be conducted using different techniques like HR-TEM, HR-XPS, SEM, XRD, etc.   The aim of the project is two-fold: First the development of new synthetic strategies that will lead to a better nanostructural control, and second to provide a better understanding of how synthetic conditions can be controlled to combine several materials with different structural and physiochemical properties. Part of the experimental work will take place at international institutions (e.g. Japan and Spain).

 

The candidate should hold a university degree (Master of Science or equivalent) in materials science and engineering, nanotechnology, materials chemistry, biophysics, or equivalent. We search for a candidate with background in synthesis of inorganic materials, ceramics processing and nanostructured materials characterization. We search for a person that is creative, innovative and can work independently. The person we are searching for has good communication skills and is able to collaborate with other PhD candidates and researchers in the project as well as international collaborators.
