We’re looking forward to receiving applications from candidates for two postdoctoral positions here at CiTOS!
By working at CiTOS, the selected candidates will be engaged in a competitive research environment, within a multidisciplinary team including synthetic chemists and chemical engineers. They will enjoy direct access to the most recent flow reactor technologies from Corning AFR and an internal analytical platform (LC, LC-MS, GC, GC-MS, benchtop NMR, IR, UV, etc.). Our large network of industrial collaborators stimulates research toward concrete industrial and/or societal challenges, making this a unique opportunity for candidates aspiring to continue either towards careers in academia or industry.
A first position is open as part of an ongoing collaboration with PENNAKEM, a leader for the production of bio-based solvents and fine chemicals.
A second position stems from an international consortium under the umbrella of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This research program aims at continuous drug substance manufacturing from biomass-derived building blocks. (Eligible candidates for this position must not have spent more than 24 months (for study or research/professional reasons) in Belgium for the past 3 years, regardless of citizenship, and must have obtained their PhD degree within less than 10 years at the time of the application.)
For these position, a PhD in organic chemistry is required, with a background in flow technology and preferably an interest for bio-based chemicals.
Interested candidates please send electronic applications including (a) a cover letter, (b) a curriculum vitae, (c) a short statement on your motivation and career objectives, and (d) the names and contact details of 3 professional references to Prof. Jean-Christophe M. Monbaliu (jc.monbaliu@uliege.be)
Review of applications will begin on January 1, 2023 and will continue until the position is filled.
