Two postdoctoral positions are available in the Materials Chemistry Research Group. The research is interdisciplinary encompassing the fields of organic-organometallic synthesis and materials chemistry.
The research project will focus on a novel and exciting class of hybrid organic-inorganic nanocomposite materials pioneered in our group, periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs). See Asefa, MacLachlan, Ozin, Nature 1999, ChemComm 1999, Angew. Chem. 2000, Chemistry: European Journal 2000, J.Mat.Chem. 2000.
The candidate should have a Ph.D. in materials/organic/organometallic chemistry. Experience in organic-organometallic synthesis is highly desirable. This is an excellent opportunity for young scientists to pursue research in a highly stimulating and leading edge environment.
Materials Chemistry and Physics
Two postdoctoral positions are available in the Materials Chemistry Research Group. The research is interdisciplinary encompassing the fields of materials chemistry and solid-state chemistry and physics. The research project will focus on photonic crystal materials.
The candidate should have a Ph.D. in paterials/physical chemistry/chemical physics or a related field. Experience in materials synthesis and solid-state characterization is highly desirable. This is an excellent opportunity for young scientists to pursue research in a highly stimulating and leading edge environment.
Photonic Materials, Photonics Engeneering and Photonic Devices
Two outstanding postdoctoral fellows are sought to participate in an exciting collaborative project between leading-edge photonics materials chemistry and photonics engineering groups at the University of Toronto to integrate photonic band gap structures into functional optical circuits.
Three-dimensional diffractive optical structures offer in theory, powerful capabilities in managing light in optical circuits. The goal is to practically harness this capability within the structure of our existing photonics materials, photonics fluorine laser nanofabrication and photonics device programs. The project is suited to interdisciplinary, imaginative and technically strong individuals who are highly motivated towards revolutionizing the basic science and future manufacturing of photonic circuits.
