<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES">Dear colleagues, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As part of the Scientific Member agreement between the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MCIN) and the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL, Grenoble, France), we are pleased to offer the GHGapture PhD project jointly supervised by scientists
at the ILL and at BCMaterials, the Basque Centre for Materials, Applications and Nanostructures (Bilbao, Spain).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the GHGapture PhD project, we propose the evaluation of microporous Metal-Organic Framework materials specifically encoded to trap in a highly selective manner hydrophobic GHGs as methane and PF6 from the atmosphere. We will apply a
combination of forefront Inelastic and Quasielastic Neutron Scattering (INS and QENS, respectively) and laboratory based characterization protocols (e.g. crystal X-ray diffraction, solid NMR, conventional and fast differential scanning calorimetry and room-pressure/temperature
home-made gas adsorption experimental set-ups) to (i) understand the underpinning interactions and mobility of the target gas molecules within these microporous frameworks, and: (ii) evaluate the potentials of the specific functions encoded within MOFs for
the direct capture of hydrophobic GHGs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are seeking for a motivated PhD student in chemistry, physics, engineering or materials science areas. The three-years pre-doctoral project will be developed at the ILL- Institut Laue–Langevin, one of the world´s leading facilities in
neutron science & technology, and in close collaboration with the Basque Center for Materials, Applications and Nanostructures (BCMaterials). The student will be jointly supervised by Dr. Mónica Jiménez-Ruiz (instrument scientist of the neutron vibrational
spectrometer IN1-Lagrange) where the student will be introduced into the application of neutron scattering techniques for the characterization of materials, as well as in computational calculations to evaluate the host/guest chemical interactions and the gas
mobility in the MOF. In parallel, the student will develop different secondments at the BCMaterials under the supervision of Dr. Roberto Fernández de Luis, leader of the environmental and remediation research area, and Dr. José María Porro, co-leader of the
neutron science research line, in order to develop, characterize and evaluate the performance of MOF materials for the direct capture of hydrophobic GHGs from the atmosphere.<o:p></o:p></p>
