November 19, 2012
Four Postdoctoral and/or PhD positions
The positions are funded by “THALES” research project: “Complex Visco-elastic and Visco-plastic Materials: From Microscopic Structure and Dynamics to Macroscopic Flow”.
The positions, funded by the Greek Ministry of Education, are available at IESL/FORTH (Crete), University of Patras, National Technical University of Athens and Technical University of Crete. PhD candidates should hold Master’s degree in the field of Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or Engineering. Postdoctoral candidates should have a PhD degree with relevant experience in Soft Matter Science and Engineering.
Overall project description: The aim of the project is to investigate the flow of complex visco-elastic and visco-plastic materials with emphasis in the elucidation of the relation of microscopic structure and dynamics with mechanical properties. Polymers, colloids and granular systems are main representatives with applications in consumer products often involving complex flows during their processing. The research program will be performed in collaboration with world leading scientists with complimentary expertise in experiments, theory and simulations.

Postdoctoral and PhD positions
Postdoctoral and PhD positions in
Periodically Ordered Mesoporous Metal and Metal-Oxide Nanoparticle Assemblies for Catalytic and Gas Separation Applications
(MESOPOROUS-NPs ERC Starting Grant project)
Ph.D. candidates should have a Master's degree or equivalent diploma in field of materials science, chemistry, physics or engineering. Postdoctoral candidates should have a doctoral degree in materials science and engineering, chemistry or a closely related field. A strong background in chemistry of materials, inorganic chemistry or catalysis is of advantage.
Successful applicants will work on one or more of the following subjects linked to the MESOPOROUS-NPs project: synthetic chemistry, self-assembly of nanoparticles, redox and photocatalysis, gas adsorption and separation. The fellowships are expected to start their appointment on September, 2012. The assignment of the postdoctoral researchers is for 1 year with the possibility of extension to 3 years, depending on qualification, with gross salary 1600 Euros per month. The assignment of the Ph.D. students is for 3 years with gross salary 1100 Euros per month.
To apply please send a curriculum vitae (including a complete list of publications), letter of motivation and names and contact details of three references to Prof. G. Armatas at garmatas@materials.uoc.gr.
