Offer Description

The Organic Chemistry Group of Prof. Bonifazi in the Faculty of Chemistry in collaboration with BASF is currently seeking candidates for PhD student positions with research experience in organic chemistry.

We are thrilled to announce a fully-funded PhD position in our research program focusing on the development of sustainable methods recycling polymeric materials. The research activities are framed in the recently funded Green Chemistry initiative in collaboration with BASF. Join our dynamic team of researchers and be part of a transformative project that aims to pioneer the development of sustainable electrochemical and photochemical procedures tackling the depolymerisation reaction of common organic polymers and develop depolymerisation protocols on real materials for recycling the given monomers. We are seeking ambitious and creative individuals with a strong background in organic chemistry. Candidates with a passion for innovative research and a keen interest in targeted oriented synthesis, photochemistry and electrochemistry are highly encouraged to apply. Candidates are expected to work in close collaboration with BASF and be seconded at their premises for shorts periods.

Who we are:

The Bonifazi group (https://bonifazi-group.univie.ac.at/ ), led by Prof. Bonifazi is situated within the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Vienna. Our group focuses on ambitious targeted organic synthesis, carbon-based nanostructure chemistry and self-assembly and self-organisation studies. Our primary objective is to develop practical access to functional organic architectures with tailored properties, enabling the application in real world-technologies.As a PhD student in the Bonifazi group, you will have the opportunity to work at the intersection of organic synthesis, physical organic chemistry and cutting-edge applications, fostering collaborations with both academic and industrial partners and be part of an international team.
