Postdoctoral Position, Laboratory of Crystallography, Tel Aviv University

A postdoctoral position is available from autumn 2002 in the
crystallography laboratory at Tel Aviv University. Research involves
studies in areas related to supramolecular chemistry of porphyrins
(including synthesis, structural analysis and materials
characterization), aiming at the design of new porphyrin-based materials
with interesting properties. For an overview of our recent studies on
this subject please refer to the recent highlight articles in Chem. Eur.
J. 2000, 6, 3863-3870 and Cryst. Eng. Comm. 2002, 4, 109-116.

For further information please contact:
Prof. Israel Goldberg,
School of Chemistry,
Tel Aviv University, 69978
Ramat Aviv, Israel.

PhD Studentship, Chemical Crystallography Lab, University of Oxford

A PhD studentship is available from autumn 2002 in the Chemical Crystallography Laboratory
in Oxford. The project will be supervised by Dr David Watkin and Dr Richard Cooper, and
includes collaboration with Dr Peter Main in York and Prof Paul Beurskens in Nijmegen.

Applications are invited from graduate students with a first or upper second class degree
in chemistry or physics. The graduate is also required to have fair mathematical ability,
IT skills and must meet EPSRC requirements. Training in practical and theoretical aspects
of crystallography will be provided.

The Research:
An increasing number of examples are being found where the basic building block for
crystals of molecular materials is not a single molecule, but groups of molecules - the so-
called Z'>1 crystals. They are a poorly-understood aspect of crystal formation, and the X-
ray crystal structure analysis of these materials is not always simple.

The aims of this project include growing suitable crystals, analyzing them by a variety of
techniques, and developing new software for processing the X-ray diffraction data, leading
to a better understanding of the nature and origin of these materials.

The Laboratory:
The Oxford Chemical Crystallography Laboratory is very well equipped with single crystal X-
ray diffractometers and computers, and there is access to excellent powder and solid-state
nmr equipment within the chemistry department.

Applications:
The closing date is 31 August 2002. Applications, in the form of a letter and curriculum
vitae with the names and addresses of two referees, who may be contacted prior to
interview, should be posted (not emailed) to: The Administrator, Inorganic Chemistry
Laboratory, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3QR, UK.
