The University of Basel is offering a PhD position in the lab of Associate Professor Jonathan De Roo, focusing on the research area of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and nanomaterials. The project centers on controlling oxo cluster building blocks prior to their assembly into MOFs, with a particular emphasis on the stability of these frameworks under real-world conditions. This versatile research opportunity will provide training in inorganic synthesis, materials characterization, and the application of oxo clusters and MOFs, making it ideal for students interested in advanced materials science and chemistry.

The successful candidate will join a dynamic research group at the University of Basel, located in Switzerland, and will work on cutting-edge topics at the intersection of chemistry and materials science. The project is well-suited for students with a strong background in chemistry or materials science, especially those with experience in inorganic synthesis and materials characterization. The research aims to address challenges related to the stability and practical application of MOFs, which are of significant interest in the field of nanomaterials.

Applicants are required to submit a motivation letter, CV, and contact information for three references directly to Professor Jonathan De Roo. While the announcement does not specify funding details, the University of Basel is known for supporting its doctoral students. No explicit deadline is mentioned, so early application is encouraged.
