Interested in joining the Martin group?

I am open year-round to inquiries from suitable candidates, be it for a M.Sc. rotation, an M.Sc. thesis project, a Ph.D. position, or a postdoctoral position. Acceptance is a function of available funding, including any competitive fellowships the applicant has a chance of getting.

For obvious reasons, rotation and M.Sc. students have to be enrolled in the Weizmann Institute M.Sc. program.

Applicants for a Ph.D. level position should satisfy the admission requirements to the Ph.D. Program of the Feinberg Graduate School, full details of which (as well as salary and benefits information) are available here. Ph.D. positions at WIS are generally for about 4 years, with a trial period that runs until the student passes (or, alas, fails) the WIS Proposal Examination (usually after about 1 year).

Applicants for a postdoctoral position should have obtained a Ph.D. within the last three years. Details of salary and benefits for postdocs at the Institute are available here. Postdoctoral positions will be for 1 year, extendable by mutual agreement. Applicants with previous postdoc experience may qualify for a higher remuneration scale and will be encouraged to develop their own line of research.

How to apply

Rotation and M.Sc. applicants may contact me informally (as they are already at Weizmann).

Ph.D. and postdoctoral applicants should Email me a CV, list of publications, and contact information for at least two references. Please avoid sending Word files: the preferred format for sending formatted documents is PDF. My Email is: comartin at wicc dot weizmann dot ac dot il

Essential requirements

• For foreign applicants, fluency in English is an absolute "must". People not fluent in English need not apply.
• Good computer skills (Unix/Linux, Mac OS X an asset) and willingness to acquire more.
• The desire to learn more about theory than "button-pushing".

Assets

• Programming skills (particularly Fortran), or at least willingness to acquire them.
• Aptitude for scientific writing and reporting in English.
• A good background in one or more of the following: theoretical chemistry, organometallic chemistry, biochemistry.
• Ability to work creatively and independently.
