Job description
In order to fill a fixed-term position in part-time (26,6861 hours /67%) at the earliest possible date, we are looking for 1
Ph.D. candidate (m/f/x) in organic chemistry (organocatalysis/supramolecular chemistry)
Our group at Ruhr-University Bochum is mostly concerned with the study of noncovalent interactions. In parallel, however, we also explore the chemistry of donor-substituted cyclopropenium (cyclopropanide) systems.
Scope: part-time
Duration: fixed-term, 3
Start: at the earliest possible date
Apply by: 2026-08-04
Your tasks:
The candidate (m/f/x) will design multi-step synthesis towards functionalized cylcopropanide systems and will contribute to concept development.. Targets will be characterized by NMR, other spectroscopic techniques, as well as CV and sXRD. A articular focus will be on diazo compounds and their follow-up reactions. More information can be found at DOI: 10.1002/chem.202203149.
Your profile:
- M.Sc. degree in chemistry (already granted or to be granted prior to the start of the position)
- experience in multi-step organic syntheses and the characterization of reaction products
- experience in the handling of air-sensitive compounds and reactions under inert-gas conditions
- very good command of English, oral and written
- (ideally) experience in the handling of diazo compounds
- (ideally) basic knowledge of fundamental concepts in the humanities (concept development)
