The research group of Prof. Dr. Michael Mastalerz at the Institute of Organic Chemistry, Heidelberg University is seeking to fill the following temporary positions starting October 1st 2024 at the latest:
2 PhD Positions (65%) in Organic Chemistry – Synthesis of Polycyclic Aromatic Nanobelts (f/m/d)
TACY (Tackling the Cyclacene Challenge) is a joint project between the research groups of Michael Mastalerz (Heidelberg University), Holger Bettinger (University Tübingen) and Michael Gottfried (University of Marburg), financially supported by an ERC Synergy Grant started in April 2023. The aim is to synthesize cyclacenes, a certain class of cyclic aromatic compounds that have been first proposed by Heilbronner in 1954, but still are elusive till date. By combining the expertise of synthesis, matrix isolation, on surface synthesis and theoretical calculations, the TACY team will use a new synergistic approach to solve this long-standing problem.
Objective is the synthesis of cyclacene precursors and polycyclic aromatic nanobelts.
Your profile:
- We are looking for experimentally skilled candidates, ideally experienced in multiple-step organic synthesis with a Master’s degree or equivalent in Chemistry
- Prior work on fused aromatic compounds is certainly advantageous
- Communication within the project is in English, therefore excellent written and oral skills in this language are required
We offer an international and attractive work environment in Heidelberg (research group Mastalerz). The salary is based on TV-L scale (E13). The position is limited to three years, with the possibility of extension.
