J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry of the ASCR, v.v.i., offers:
*** One postdoctoral position is available in the Chemistry of Ions in Gaseous Phase Group (in Dr. Ján Žabka, CSc. team ) in the Department of Chemistry of Ions and Clusters of the J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague, Czech Republic.
The project (GACR - Chemical processes in the atmoshere of Titan - experimental study - No. 14-19693S) aims to experimentally study the atmospheric ion chemistry at temperatures 80-300K using the modified selected ion flow tube, SIFT, instrument available in the laboratory. Reactions of anions CnH-(n=2-6), C6H4-, CnN-(n=1-9) with molecules present in the atmosphere of Titan will be studied.
A combination of several experimental techniques will be utilized for these purposes, namely variable temperature selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (VT SIFT MS) and guided-ion beam mass spectrometry (GIB MS).
The position requires a strong scientific background in physical chemistry, mass spectrometry techniques and instrumentation (vacuum, construction of RF devices, programming) for ion-molecular reaction in the gas phase.
The applicant must hold a PhD. degree in chemistry or physics (max. April 2014).
Interested individuals should send an e-mail containing their CV, brief summary of previous research, list of publications and names plus e-mail addresses of 1 - 2 references.
The position is initially for 1 year with a possibility of an extension.
*** One position is available in the Graphene Group (in the team of Dr. Otakar Frank) in the Department of Electrochemical Materials.
The project "Strain engineering of electronic structure in graphene" (GACR - No. 14-15357S) aims to provide a complete picture of mechanically stressed single- or bilayer graphene assessed mainly by transport measurements, in-situ Raman and photoelectron spectroscopies, accompanied by advanced microscopy techniques in order to control its electronic properties by strain. Other two-dimensional materials beyond graphene (like MoS2) will be in focus too.
The position requires scientific background in at least one of the relevant fields, either physical chemistry, solid-state physics or materials science. Candidates with experience in Raman spectroscopy and/or atomic force microscopy characterization of carbon materials will be preferred.
The applicant should hold a PhD. degree in a related scientific field, however, candidates aiming for a postgraduate study can be considered as well.
Interested individuals should send an e-mail containing their CV, brief summary of previous research, list of publications and names plus e-mail addresses of 1 - 2 references. The position is initially for 1 year with a possibility of an extension for the whole duration of the project (3 years).

***One part time position is available in the Chemistry of Ions in Gaseous Phase Group in the Department of Chemistry of Ions and Clusters. The interdisciplinary project led by Dr. Kseniya Dryahina (GACR project No. 14-14534S – Mass spectrometric quantification of volatile metabolites in breath for noninvasive diagnosis and monitoring of bacterial infection in cystic fibrosis) aims to develop new noninvasive diagnostic methods based on physical chemistry for use in medicine.
A combination of several experimental techniques will be utilized for these purposes, namely selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT MS) and a newly developed thermal desorption (TD) method for sample collection.
The position requires experience with construction of laboratory instrumentation (design of mechanical components for sample handling, electronics including design of schematics and PCBs, measurement and programming) for ion-molecular reaction in the gas phase.
The applicant must hold a university degree (Bc. minimum, Mgr. preferentially, PhD possible). The degree should ideally be in electronic or chemical engineering.
Interested individuals should send an e-mail containing their CV, brief summary of engineering and research experience. Also names and e-mail addresses of 1 - 2 references should be given.
The position is initially for the calendar year 2014 with a possibility of an extension for the duration of the project.
*** One position is available in the Electrode kinetics laboratory (in the team of Dr. Magdalena Hromadová) in the Department of Molecular Electrochemistry.
The project "Electron Transport in Nanoscale Assemblies. From Redox Mechanism to Molecular Conductance" (GACR - No. 4-05180S) focuses on the electrochemical approach as a unique test platform for the development of basic molecular electronic components. Emphasis is placed on the comparison of bulk redox properties of selected molecules at the electrode/electrolyte interface with the conductance values of individual molecules in low-dimensional structures (directed electron transfer). Research will be focused on the multi-center redox systems, on the structures with conformational switching abilities, host-guest assemblies and on the increase of communication at the molecular electronic junction by the choice of the anchoring group (tripods). Electron transfer studies will be complemented by theoretical calculations, by spectroscopic (in-situ UV-Vis-NIR, EPR) and microscopic (STM and AFM) methods.
The position requires scientific background in physical chemistry and electrochemistry. Certain knowledge from solid-state physics and materials science is an advantage. Candidates with experience in impedance techniques, spectroelectrochemistry, scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopies will be preferred.
The applicant must hold a PhD. degree in a related scientific field.
Interested individuals should send an e-mail containing their CV, brief summary of previous research, list of publications, names and e-mail addresses of 1 – 2 researchers that could provide a letter of support. The position is initially for 1 year with a possibility of an extension for the whole duration of the project (3 years).
Application should consist of the application form, a CV with a publication record, professional experience, awarded prizes and honors, etc.
