Responsibilities

A postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for developing supramolecular hydrogel materials at the electrode surface. Her/his responsibilities will cover (i) adjustment of the chemical structure(s) of the supramolecular hydrogel precursors; (ii) characterization of the synthesized molecules; (iii) execution of the electrochemically assisted deposition with the available and self-synthesized molecules; (iv) characterization of the formed materials.

Her/His task will also cover the supervision of PhD/MSc/BSc students, preparation of the scientific publications, project results dissemination for the scientific and general public, help in the research project execution, and self-development and independent learning related to the project objectives.
