CVD diamond - electrochemical applications (Postdoctoral position for 1 year)

Job description

Open post-doctoral position (for 1 year with possibility of extension) at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (http://www.fzu.cz) in the Materials for Nanosystems and Biointerfaces research group (http://ofm.fzu.cz/about-mnb) to support research project activities on diamond based electrochemical applications, e.g. dye sensitized photocathode in solar cells and biosensors. The selected candidate will contribute to the fabrication and optimization of porous boron doped diamond layers and boron doped diamond electrode arrays within a microfluidic system and their characterization.

Requirements

The candidate, up to 5 years after Ph.D. defense, shall speak fluent English and be familiar with at least one of the following areas - electrochemistry, PVD and CVD growth technology, microfabrication technologies, structural, electrical and electrochemical characterization methods. Experience in electronics, modeling (e.g. COMSOL Multiphysics), programing (e.g. Labview) and Czech language are added values.

We offer

The selected candidate will be offered a salary based on her/his qualification/experience and will receive standard benefits of employees of Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

Applications with a CV, cover letter, contacts of references, and other relevant material in English shall be sent to Ms. M. Boháčková (bohacekmfzu [dot] cz).
