Nanoparticles are regarded as attractive candidates for heterogeneous catalysis in various imperative catalytic processes as they are now easy to synthesize with a desired size, structure, morphology and composition. Keeping in mind the current environmental sustainability concerns, it is important to design inexpensive and benign nanocatalysts for organic transformations/catalytic processess. Over the last decade, a variety of new types of nanocatalysts have been investigated, including well-defined morphology depdendent catalysts, single-atom catalysts, core–shell and yolk–shell nanocatalysts, silica-based hybrid catalysts, 2 D graphene-based materials and 2D single metal or mixed metal ionic nanocatalysts. The ascent of these complex nanomaterials over the last few years has enabled chemists to understand traditional catalysts from a new perspective. The aim of these hot research areas is to desinged the materials based on highly important targated catalytic, organic transformations and Photo (electro) catalysis applications.

A successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Catalysis, Material Chemistry, Organic chemistry, or a related discipline, with a proven capacity for world-class research that is reflected in a publication record. In particular, good technical writing skills in English are fundamental. Though research experience in one or more of the aforementioned areas of research is preferred, other related areas of research will also be considered. Those who not have three first author publications in high impact journal please do not apply for this position.
The recruited postdoctoral fellows will conduct world-class research work and develop innovative research on nanocatalysis under the supervision of Prof. Radek Zboril and Assoc. Prof. Manoj B. Gawande and will be involved in the publication of research results including high quality journal publications. Furthermore, the recruited postdoctoral fellow may be expected to assist in the supervision of graduate research assistants and to assist in writing external funding proposals.
Remuneration is completely depend on applicant's qualifications and experience.
We offer a stimulating environment, attractive salary, and a unique opportunity to join two well-known research groups with state of the art instrumentation including cryoHRTEM, AFM, STM, SEM, SQUID, PPMS, LC/MS, PS and advanced Raman spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, NMR, and fluorescence spectroscopy.
One year (May be two years for extraordinary candidate), renewable annually for a maximum appointment of three years.
Interested applicants should e-mail Prof. Radek Zboril (radek.zboril@upol.cz), general director, RCPTM and Asso. Prof. Manoj B. Gawande (manoj.gawande@upol.cz) and with a complete professional CV (including educational background, experience, and a list of publications). If your expertise is of interest to Nanocatalysis Laboratories-RCPTM, you will then be contacted for additional documents (three recommendation letters and a brief statement of research interests/plans). Only selected candidates will be called for interview.
Letters of recommendation shall be sent directly to the same email addresses.
The main objective of the Regional Centre of Advanced Technologies and Materials (RCPTM) is the regular transfer of the developed high-tech technologies into the medicinal, industrial and environmental practice and the participation of the centre in the prestigious international networks and consortia. RCPTM focuses predominantly on the top research in the metal oxide nanoparticles for catalytic and magnetic applications, carbon nanostructures, metal nanoparticles for antimicrobial and water treatment technologies, coordination chemistry, photonics, new instrumentation in optics and analytical chemistry.
