PhD scholarship: Organometallic Frameworks

A 3-year PhD scholarship in synthetic metal-organic framework (MOF) and organometallic chemistry is available as a joint project between the Department of Chemistry, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and the Laboratoire de Chimie Moléculaire, École Polytechnique (EP).

The PhD project will focus on the design and synthesis of new types of magnetic and magnetically frustrated organometallic network structures based on the lanthanide elements. This includes also the detailed elucidation of structural and physical properties, and electronic structures. The PhD candidate will be based at DTU but will spend one year at EP, which will be divided into two periods. In addition, the PhD candidate will spend a significant part of the project period at international large-scale facilities (synchrotron and neutron sources) in Europe and in the US.
