Graduate Students
We currently have 4 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: XRD Instrumentation and Devices
If you are interested in both academia and industry this position may be for you. Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellow to run specialized experiments on porous materials and contribute to the technical development (design, fabrication, and testing) of X-ray diffraction equipment and in-situ XRD devices (ex. flow cells, and high pressure gas cells). The candidate should have a keen interest in developing new instrumentation/devices and significant experience working with powder and single crystal diffractometers in a lab or synchrotron setting. In addition, any experience in any level of programming and or software development would also be a significant asset. The candidate will be responsible for carrying out experiments relevant to the equipment developed and contribute to academic research. The candidate should have a Ph.D. degree in chemistry, materials science, physics or related fields, good interpersonal communication/presentation skills, and the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, as they will be working closely with our industry partner, PROTO Mfg. Applicants should contact Dr. Vukotic by e-mail (nvukotic@uwindsor.ca) with a cover letter and curriculum vitae including the contact information for 2-3 references.
Industrial PDF Position(s):
PDF: Crystallographic Software Development
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.
