OFFER DESCRIPTION
NOAH (Network of functional molecular containers with controlled switchable abilities) is an European training network that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie action (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2017).
The general scientific goal of the NOAH scientific research program is to develop, characterise and transfer to applications different types of molecular containers. NOAH aims to provide to selected Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs a great variety of scientific attributes, ranging from the experimental organic and inorganic synthesis to computational chemistry. Photo- and electro-chemistry, MS/gas-phase chemistry, X-ray diffraction and optical spectroscopy techniques will be also included in the scientific formation and development of the recruited ESRs. The trainees will also receive education in complementary and transferable skills through local and network-wide dedicated training activities (e.g. dissemination, communication, organization, governance, ethics…). The training program includes the exposure of the ESRs to chemical research carried out in the non-academic sector by means of full recruitment or short stage secondments (4-6 months) in one of the four European companies acting as industrial partners.
In this third call, NOAH will recruit 1 Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) with a 23-month contract who will have the possibility to defend a PhD thesis at the end of the individual project. The PhD student will be hosted at Institute of Organic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland and will receive additional training by undergoing relevant secondments at the industrial and other academic partners’ facilities.
