Postdoc Opening in Physical Chemistry of Materials

We are looking for motivated candidates for a postdoctoral researcher position in the Biocolloids Research Group, University of Szeged, Hungary to work on a project focusing on synthesis, characterization, and environmental application of hybrid nano/colloidal materials.

The successful candidate will hold a PhD degree obtained in the period 2022-2024 in chemistry, materials science, or physics. Candidates with experience in at least 2 of the following topics will only be considered: nano/microplastic contamination, nanozyme synthesis, water remediation, colloidal stability, and light scattering. Such an experience must be unambiguously highlighted in the cover letter together with relevant publications. Enthusiasm for experiment-based scientific research is important and the candidates must possess good  communication (both oral and written) skills in English.

The application document (one single pdf file) must contain a resume, motivation letter, contacts (e-mail address and phone number only) of two professional references and a copy of the PhD (or defense date) certificate. Incomplete applications will not be considered for the selection procedure. If you are interested, please send your application by e-mail to István Szilágyi (szistvan@chem.u-szeged.hu). Review of the applications will begin on 1 May 2024 and continue until the position is filled.
