Offer Description

We offer 1500 PLN per month stipend financed from the National Science Center (NSC) OPUS 20 Project No. 2020/39/B/ST4/01956 entitled “On demand generation of singlet oxygen in organic solutions and water” led by dr Aleksander Gorski. The successful candidate is expected to start work within the project on November 1, 2023. The stipend is for 12 months with a possible extension up to 25 months.

 

The aim of the project is the developing of biologically relevant bichromophores complexes with, from one side, the ability of enhanced singlet oxygen formation and, from other side, the ability of tight control of singlet oxygen concentration by depletion (e.g. consumption of singlet oxygen during endoperoxides formation) in organic solvents and in water/micelles solutions.

Responsibilities:

  • Purification of organic compounds.
  • Synthesis of macrocyclic compounds. Samples preparation.
  • Scientific initiative and contribution through regular reporting, participation in international conferences;
  • Contribution to the efficient functioning of the lab.
