Is the development of key technologies on a global level your thing?
Our client is a mission-oriented Research and Technology Organisation (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment and IT. They develop competitive and market-oriented product/service prototypes for public and private actors and work on the whole innovation chain: basic/applied research, incubation, technology transfer.
The MRT (Material Research & Technology) department, with its 200 researchers and engineers, develops activities hinge on five thematic pillars: nanomaterials, nanotechnology, scientific instrumentation and process technology, structural composites, and functional polymers. The department also includes four high-tech platforms (CoreTech), focusing on composites, prototyping, characterization and testing. These platforms serve both intern research staff, and other stakeholders in Luxembourg.
The Powder and Colloidal Engineering Group is looking for an Experienced Researcher in Nanomaterials Synthesis to to synthetize boron nitrides/ aluminium nitride (boron complexes) with a focus on hydrogen and energy storage applications and wider applications such as composites, heat management, development of new materials.
The successful candidate will be based in Belvaux in Luxembourg.
The role
As PI, you will develop the portfolio of highly complex national (FNR) and European RD&I projects (ranging from fundamental to industrial / application-oriented research), by acquiring funding, directing the research and supervising project researchers (PhDs, postdocs and other scientists/engineers). You will have the opportunity to collaborate on various industrial projects. You enjoy contributing to current and future public or private public partnership project portfolio of MRT.
In addition, you will lead and promote the dissemination, valorisation and transfer of RD&I results (patents, licenses, prototypes, publications, technical reports, conference participation) and publish scientific results in high quality peer-reviewed journals. These efforts are to be carried out in close collaboration with other members of the group, unit and department and will contribute to the development of RTO's research and technology activities. In addition, you will actively contribute to the development of scientific and technological cooperation networks at national and international level.
Qualifications & Experience
You have a PhD in Chemistry or Physico-Chemistry, with strong expertise in colloidal sciences based on boron nanoparticle synthesis by bottom-up and top-down methodology. You have a solid background in the field of stimuli responsive nanomaterial and nanoparticle synthesisYou have at least 10 years of post-doctoral experience as an IP and research supervisor.
You must have an outstanding academic history and a very good track record in fundraising, publications, patents and project management (and supervision).
You have established, developed and coordinated collaborations with a wide range of stakeholders and have experience of coordinating and/or participating in multilateral research consortia (such as EU projects).
