Graduate Students
We currently have open positions for M.Sc./Ph.D. students interested in the following areas: organic/inorganic synthesis, crystallization, purification, spectroscopy, materials characterization, and various X-ray diffraction characterization methods. Group members also have the opportunity to be involved in the design, fabrication, and testing of new XRD-based research tools and in-situ devices by working closely with our industry partner, PROTO Mfg. Students interested in pursuing a M.Sc. or Ph.D. at the University of Windsor should contact Dr. Vukotic by e-mail at nvukotic@uwindsor.ca

Postdoctoral Researchers
We currently have funding for two post-doctoral fellow (PDF) positions: Postdoctoral fellows holding external funding are always welcome to apply. Please note that due to the volume of applications that are received, only qualified applicants will be contacted.
PDF: Stimuli-Responsive Porous Crystals ($45,000+ depending on experience)
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellow to design, synthesize, and characterize, stimuli-responsive porous crystals for applications as nanoporous adsorbents, chemical sensors, and drug releasing biomaterials. The position requires experience in organic/inorganic synthesis and purification, spectroscopy, materials characterization techniques, and X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD and PXRD). The candidate should have a Ph.D. degree in chemistry, materials science or a closely related field, good interpersonal communication/presentation skills, and the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team. Applicants should contact Dr. Vukotic by e-mail (nvukotic@uwindsor.ca) with a brief cover letter and curriculum vitae including the contact information for 2-3 references.
Industrial PDF Position(s):
PDF: Crystallographic Software Development ($60,000+ depending on experience)
Applications are invited for one Mitacs industrial postdoctoral position available in crystallographic software development. The position requires knowledge of crystallography and programming (python, C+). Experience in UI design and code versioning tools, such as Git would also be an asset. The PDF would work closely with the software development team at PROTO. Applicants should contact Dr. Vukotic by e-mail (nvukotic@uwindsor.ca) with a statement of interest and curriculum vitae including the contact information for 2-3 references. This position requires a formal application to Mitacs that will be completed with the help of the applicant and is supported by our industry sponsor, PROTO Mfg.
