Resumo da oferta

Ghent University is seeking a highly motivated researcher to lead the synthesis and characterisation of indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots using hot-injection methods under inert-gas conditions. The role focuses on optimizing synthesis, understanding structure–property relationships, and evaluating device integration for optoelectronic applications.

The candidate will design experiments, analyse data, and document results for scientific reports and meetings, with exposure to potential patent

Qualificações

• Mastery of colloidal nanomaterial synthesis, preferably via hot-injection.
• Experience with air- and moisture-sensitive chemistry under inert-gas conditions.
• Solid understanding of nanomaterial chemistry and structure–property relationships.
• Experience with optical spectroscopy, especially near-infrared.
• Ability to plan experiments, analyze data, troubleshoot procedures, and work independently.
• Strong written and spoken English for scientific communication in an international setting.

Responsabilidades

• Develop, perform, and optimise colloidal InP quantum dot syntheses using hot-injection under inert-gas conditions.
• Investigate how synthesis parameters affect composition, size, and optical properties.
• Characterise materials using spectroscopy and other techniques, focusing on visible/NIR ranges.
• Evaluate suitability for optoelectronic applications and integration into devices.
• Document results, and present findings in reports and project meetings.
• Contribute to experimental evidence for potential patents and IP development.
