As a postdoctoral researcher you will work on a project to determine and optimise the properties of crystalline thermochemical materials in order to select the most suitable materials for use in a heat storage system. This two-year project will be conducted by the Solid State Chemistry group at the Institute for Molecules and Materials (Radboud University, Nijmegen) and is part of a collaboration involving several researchers and academic and industrial partners aiming to develop a commercial heat storage system.

As a postdoctoral researcher you must have a PhD in chemistry, physics or materials science and should be interested in the physical chemistry of crystal growth. Experience in a relevant area and good experimental skills are required. This project will be performed through interactions with various people. Good social skills are therefore essential, as is a good command of spoken and written English.

Fixed-term contract: 14 months.

A maximum gross motnhly salary € 4,084 based on a 38-hour working week (salary scale 10)
you will be classified as a Postdoctoral Researcher, Level 4 in the Dutch university job-ranking system (UFO)
The Faculty of Science is an equal opportunity employer, committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual community, and as such encourages applications from women and minorities.

Faculty of Science

The IMM is an interdisciplinary research institute in chemistry and physics at Radboud University. Its mission is to perform fundamental research to understand, design and control the functioning of molecules and materials. The goal of the Solid State Chemistry group is to obtain a fundamental understanding of the processes occurring during crystal growth. A strong interaction exists between theoretical, computational and experimental methods and a wide range of systems and problems is studied.

No commercial propositions please.
