We are looking for a student for an exciting project as part of a collaboration between the Institute of Physical Chemistry, the Gdańsk University of Technology, the company redox.me and the Norwegian research institute Sintef, to develop first-of-its-kind, multiparametric instrumentation equipment integrating microfluidic electrochemical cells and advanced microelectrodes materials, and being compatible with other in situ analyses technologies such as UV-Vis, FTIR/IR, Raman, NMR and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy.

IPC PAS is the main responsible partner for testing and development of the electrochemical part of the system.

The student will work together in a team to build up the test facility needed for the evaluation of electrode materials from GUT. The materials will be tested both as general-purpose electrodes, but also for specific purposes within (bio)analytical chemistry. The final goal will be the development and demonstration of a multi-parameter electrochemical measurement platform based on microfluidics.

• Testing of electrochemical properties of novel electrode materials.
• Electrochemical measurements in microfluidic systems.
• Fabrication of microchannels and electrode systems for these measurements.
• Data analysis, writing reports.
• Cooperation with researchers, including communication with English-speaking colleagues

• Monthly salary of 1500 PLN (total employment cost. The position is financed by NCBR through the POLNOR Project No. NOR/POLNOR/UPTURN/0060/2019.
• Part time work, with a flexible schedule to fit in with other obligations during studies.
• Work in an international project with collaborators from Norway, Poland and Sweden, both within the academic and private sector.
• An interesting and developing research task in a friendly group.
• Possibility of participation in international conferences
• See website: https://www.charge-transfer.pl/, https://ichf.edu.pl/en

• The candidate should be a student in chemistry, physics or similar at a Polish university at bachelor or masters level.
• Knowledge and experience in in electrochemistry and/or experimental microfluidic systems is a merit.
• Analytical thinking and critical problem solving skills.
• Ability to communicate in spoken and written English

• Competences of candidates for specific tasks in a research project
• Previous scientific achievements of candidates
• Awards and distinctions of the candidate resulting from the conducted research
