Postdoc in Photocatalysis for Organic Chemistry - DTU Chemistry
Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark
Job Description

A 16-months postdoctoral fellowship in organic chemistry, photocatalysis, and homogeneous asymmetric metal catalysis under the supervision of Associate Professor Søren Kramer is available at the Technical University of Denmark. The project will be performed in the Organic and Inorganic Chemistry Section at DTU Chemistry.

The position is available from September 1, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter.

Research in the Kramer group is focused on development of novel methods involving organic chemistry, transition-metal catalysis, photocatalysis, asymmetric catalysis, and C-H functionalization as well as reaction mechanism elucidation. The research group is young and highly ambitious.

Responsibilities and qualifications 
We are looking for a very motivated and ambitious candidate for a project within the field of photocatalysis catalysis for asymmetric C-H functionalizations. The focus will be on methodology development of novel reactions within this field. The work will include organic synthesis of starting materials and reagents, development and optimization of novel organic reactions, as well as substrate scope investigation including isolation and characterization of products.

The candidate is expected to participate in supervision of junior students. Acquisition of teaching experience is supported.

Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent. A strong background in methodology development in homogeneous catalysis is required. Extensive experience with organic synthesis is essential. Previous experience with photocatalysis, transition-metal catalysis, and asymmetric catalysis are significant advantages.

The candidate must be able to work independently, but also participate in collaborations. Good communication skills in written and spoken English are required.

Most importantly, the applicant should strive toward scientific excellence, be highly motivated, ambitious, and hard-working. Only applicants who seek to be among the brightest in their field and conduct science at the highest international level will be considered.

In the assessment of candidates, consideration will be given to:

• research potential at the highest international level
• scientific production
• an all-round scientific experience basis, preferably including international experience
• ability to generate new ideas
• motivation and ambitions

We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility. 

Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.

This period of employment is 16 months.
