Job description

Offer DescriptionAssistant Professor – postdoctoral fellow (post-doc) in a group of research workers employed at the Faculty of Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University.Project SONATA BIS 13, National Science Center, no. 2023/50/E/ST5/00021 “Development of new lanthanide-based optical manometers and thermometers working under extreme conditions of pressure and temperature “.The scientific goal of the project is to research and develop new optical, luminescent high and low pressure (vacuum) and temperature sensors based on luminescence (light emission) of inorganic materials and nanomaterials doped with lanthanide ions. Monitoring of high pressure and temperature will be performed based on compression and heating/cooling of materials, as in the case of commonly used pressure and temperature sensors, i.e. by correlating observed spectroscopic effects with pressure/temperature changes. In contrast, low pressure (vacuum) monitoring will be based on the recently discovered phenomenon of pressure-regulated and light-induced heating-cooling of materials, i.e. conversion of luminescent thermometers into vacuum sensors operating in the low pressure range. In the most desirable case, the developed sensors will operate simultaneously in an unprecedented, very wide pressure range, e.g. from 10^-5 bar (vacuum range) to 10^5 bar (high pressure range), i.e. in the range of 10 orders of magnitude. An important part of the project will be the selection of new pressure sensors operating at elevated temperatures, as well as finding and characterizing optimal, dual-function pressure/temperature sensors operating simultaneously in extreme conditions of both factors. * Research discipline (research field): Chemical science

• Number of work hours per week including a task-based work schedule (if applicable): full-time (40 hours per week) in a task-based working time system
• Type of an employment contract and expected duration of employment, i.e.: fixed-term employment contract for 2 years (01.07.2025-30.06.2027)
• Anticipated job starting date: 01.07.2025
