We are seeking a postdoctoral candidate to carry out a collaborative research project between UCL and Solvay (Brussels). Starting date: 1st February 2015.

The goal of the project is the modification of few-layers graphene powders to reduce their electrical resistance. It will involve graphene organic functionalization and metal nanoparticles decoration. Their properties will be assessed by conductive-AFM. This project should be carried out within 22 months.

To submit your application for this position, please click on the "APPLY" button. Interested applicants should send a detailed CV (with marks for each year of study and full list of publications) together with a motivation letter. 

The successful applicant should hold a doctoral degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Bio-engineering or Experimental Physics. The PhD should not have been awarded more than 5 years ago.

The required skills for this project are:

Technical:

• general materials science
• nano-carbon functionalization
• solid characterization (XPS, Raman, TGA…) and evaluation in applications
• an experience in (preferably conductive) AFM would be highly appreciated

Non technical:

• excellent communication skills (both oral and written)
• strong team player
• able to work in a multidisciplinary environment
• adaptability and efficiency
