**ABOUT GHENT UNIVERSITY**

Ghent University is a world of its own. Employing more than 15,000 people, it is actively involved in education and research, management and administration, as well as technical and social service provision on a daily basis. It is one of the largest, most exciting employers in the area and offers great career opportunities. With its 11 faculties and more than 80 departments offering state-of-the-art study programmes grounded in research in a wide range of academic fields, Ghent University is a logical choice for its staff and students.

**YOUR TASKS**

Organic crystals are essential in modern technology like optoelectronics, solar cells, etc., but are generally considered as brittle and inelastic. Polymers, hydrogels, etc. on the other hand are already used in smart materials due to their mechanical flexibility but suffer from long-range structural order. Therefore, organic molecular crystals equipped with flexible deformation capabilities can bridge hard (in)organic and soft polymeric materials. In this regard, photoluminescent organic crystalline crystals, which alter their emission properties by adopting different crystal shapes under external mechanical stress, are of extreme relevance in developing of all-organic mechanosensors, optical waveguides etc.

You will be involved
- in research and devellopment to fabricate/enhance mechanical flexibility (elastic/plastic) and photoluminescence properties of pure organic crystalline materials through cocrystal engineering and rationalize the underlying mechanisms at the supramolecular level.
- in training and teaching graduate and PhD students in synthesis, crystallization and structure determination by X-ray diffraction analysis, as well as photoluminescence of the developed organic cocrystals
- in setting up international synchrotron campaigns
- in publication writing, submission, and dissemination (oral and poster presentations) of obtained results in highly ranked international scientific journals and at (inter)national conferences

**WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR**
- You hold a thesis-based doctorate in Chemistry or Physics or Chemical Engineering or equivalent, preferably in the field of crystallography or cocrystal engineering in specific._ _
- You have a background or prior experience with crystallization, (single-crystal) X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence of (flexible) (co)crystals.
- You have an outstanding track record (high-impact publications, preferably first author, in leading international journals), and proven contributions to international conferences
- Experience with synchrotron campaigns is beneficial.
- Participation in extra trainings, schools,... is beneficial.
- You are a team player with a strong sense of autonomy and responsibility, able to commit to timing and milestones set forward in the research project.

**WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU**
- We offer you a contract of definte duration for the period of 12 months.
- Your remuneration will be determined by salary scale PD1 to PD4 (if you hold a doctorate). Click here for more information about our salary scales.
- All Ghent University staff members enjoy a number of benefits, such as a wide range of training and education opportunities, 36 days of holiday leave (on an annual basis for a full-time job) supplemented by annual fixed bridge days, a bicycle allowance and eco vouchers. Click here for a complete overview of all the staff benefits (in Dutch).

**INTERESTED?**
- In the field **‘CV’**: your CV and an overview of your study results (merged into one pdf file)
- In the field **‘Diploma’**: a transcript of the required degree (if already in your possession). If you have a foreign diploma in a language other than our national languages (Dutch, French or German) or English, please add a translation in one of the mentioned languages.

Note that the maximum file size for each field is 10 MB.
