Description:
We are constantly looking for graduate students to join the HemmerLab (www.hemmerlab.com) at the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences at the University of Ottawa, ON, Canada. Please reach out to check for current availability. Our research focuses on the synthesis of lanthanide-based nanomaterials, optimization of the optical properties (upconversion, near-infrared emission), establishment of structure-property relationships and their potential application as imaging probes or devices. This includes, but is not limited to microwave-assisted synthesis, optical characterization (photoluminescence spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging), structural analysis (e.g., TEM, XRD), and application-specific assessments.
Candidates should have a strong background in materials chemistry / materials science or related fields. Work / training will include the use of state-of-the art methods such as TEM and SEM, XRD, FTIR, and lanthanide-specific photoluminescence spectroscopy and microscopy. Experience with lanthanides or other optical materials is an advantage.
Candidates must be highly motivated and self-driven, demonstrate the capability of independent thinking, bring experimental experience, and to submit reports and manuscripts on a timely manner. Working well in an interdisciplinary team, excellent interpersonal skills, strong organizational skills, strong communication skills, and strong work ethics are further required.
Application Package:
Interested candidates should email their complete application (PDF format) including
Please mention “Lanthanide graduate search” on the subject line.
The evaluation of candidates will continue until positions will be filled. We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only those individuals selected for an interview will be contacted.
In case of questions, please contact [email protected].
