A Postdoc position is available at the Department of Chemistry at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology. The three-year position is financed by the Research Council of Norway through the Energix program.The research will be done at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway, in close collaboration with SINTEF Materials and Chemistry.

 

Information about

Department of Chemistry NTNU and SINTEFMaterials and Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry has 11 professors, 10 associate professors, 4 adjunct professors, 7 post docs and about 22 PhD research fellows. The research at the department is organised in the following sections: Organic Chemistry, Applied Theoretical Chemistry, Environmental- and Analytical Chemistry. The Postdoc will be a member of the research group in Organic chemistry. This group, now counting 2 professors and 4 associate professors, has a solid competence in organic synthetic chemistry, with emphasis on organometallic chemistry, heterocyclic chemistry and medicinal chemistry. Current department strategic areas of research include energy related organic chemistry in a wider sense, medicinal technology, environmental issues and marine resources. The Postdoc will join the Department as a researcher in the field of energy related organic chemistry, with emphasis on the development of novel electrolytes based on ionic liquids. Further information about the department is available at: https://www.ntnu.edu/chemistry

SINTEF Materials and Chemistry is a contract research institute offering high competence within materials technology, applied chemistry, and applied biology. The main partner in this project is the Group of New Energy Solutions, which has vast experience in metal-ion/ metal-air batteries, PEM electrolyzer, fuel cells and hydrogen, both nationally and internationally. In addition, the group is highly experienced in the field of synthesis and advanced characterization of oxides, with a high focus on tailoring functional materials and utilizing naturally occurring minerals in novel concepts.

 

Job description

The Postdoc candidate will be part of a research collaboration project at Department of Chemistry NTNU andSINTEF Materials and Chemistry, which is focusing on the development of high performance rechargeable Mg-ion batteries. The practical part of the work will mainly be on synthesis of novel ionic liquid electrolytes, but also on physical and electrochemical characterization of improved ionic liquid electrolytes for high performance rechargeable Mg-ion batteries. The Postdoc will also act as co-supervisor for master and doctoral students.

 

QualificationsWe are seeking a Postdoc candidate with a solid background in experimental organic chemistry.
