Applications for postdoctoral fellowships are invited for conducting fundamental or applied research at the Center for Research, Technology and Education in Vitreous Materials (CeRTEV) in São Carlos, Brazil.
The period of the fellowships is two years, starting in January 2015, renewable for two additional years upon mutual consent.
CeRTEV is a joint effort of the Federal University at São Carlos (UFSCar), the University of São Paulo (USP) and the State University of São Paulo (UNESP), to conduct fundamental and applied research in the area of Functional Glasses and Glass-Ceramics.
The centre comprises 14 faculty members, including some of the world experts in vitreous materials and structural characterisation techniques.
Research will focus on new glasses and glass-ceramics and the development of structure/crystallisation/properties correlations (mechanical, optical, electrical, catalytic, biological) for technological applications.
Applicants should have a PhD degree in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or Engineering, and have a genuine interest in conducting interdisciplinary research in an international environment.
Previous experience in glass science, solid state physics or chemistry is advantageous.
Please send your application including CV, list of publications, a 2-3 page research proposal, and the names and email addresses of two references by October 15, 2014 to Prof. Edgar D. Zanotto ([email protected]).
