Research Associate position available

Update 2: This advertisement is now closed. Mr. Kuldeep Gogoi was selected for this position and has joined the group.

Update 1: Extended deadline over. Shortlisted candidates will be notified for interview.

Applications are invited from highly motivated candidates for the position of Research Associate in an SERB funded project titled “Designing Bimetallic Complexes with Cooperative Metal-Metal Interactions for the Multi-electron Reduction of Small Molecules”.

Objective:

  • Synthesis of new bifunctional pincer ligands with disparate metal binding sites which are selective towards different metal ions.
  • Study of complexation of the new ligands with transition metals. Complete characterisation of new metal complexes with usual spectroscopic methods (IR, UV-Vis, NMR, Mass, etc.) and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
  • Investigation of reactivity of new metal complexes towards small molecules and catalytic applications in suitable reactions.

Qualification: Ph.D. in Inorganic/Organometallic Chemistry.

Interested candidates should send their CV with publication details to Dr. Amrendra K. Singh via e-mail: aks@iiti.ac.in latest by October 07, 2017 (Extended deadline).
