Nanostructured MOFs for Reversible Gas Storage

Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research; Italia; On-site; EUR 45,000 - 65,000; Full time

Job summary

REGIONE CALABRIA invites applications for a research position under the MEDUSAH project, aimed at developing MOFs for hydrogen storage by adsorption and characterizing microporous materials with high surface area.

Requirements include a PhD in Physics or equivalent, experience with volumetric techniques and Sievert-type equipment, BET/DFT data analysis, and synthesis of macro-, meso-, and nanostructured materials by pyrolysis/activation; fluent English is required.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Physics or equivalent, already obtained or to be obtained within 6 months.
• Experience with volumetric techniques and Sievert-type equipment to measure adsorption isotherms over different ranges.
• Familiarity with models for evaluating adsorption enthalpies in molecule/surface systems.
• Familiarity with data analysis models such as BET and DFT for evaluating structural characteristics (surface area, porosity).
• Experience using experimental setups for synthesis via pyrolysis and activation of macro-, meso-, and nanostructured materials from organic precursors.
• Fluency in English.

Responsibilities

• Characterize and develop microporous materials with high surface area for adsorption-based hydrogen storage.
