PhD opening in Marseille

A 3 year position towards a PhD degree is available at the University Paul Cézanne in Marseille for a motivated young student, with a strong background in analytical and/or physical chemistry. Knowledge in solid-state chemistry and physics, particularly adsorption phenomena and porous materials, is welcome. The candidate will work in collaboration with HPLC and NMR experts on the characterization of solid/liquid interactions via HRMAS-DOSY NMR, with the aim of describing separation mechanisms in Liquid Chromatography and of implementing NMR techniques for the analysis of mixtures.
For more information, please contact Stefano Caldarelli s.caldarelli@univ-cezanne.fr
