Are you interested in combination of transition metal catalysis, and can you contribute to the development of materials for CO2 capture and utilisation? Then the Skrydstrup Group at the Department of Chemistry, Aarhus University invites you to apply for a 1-year Post Doctoral position (37 hours/week) starting from February 1st, 2027.
This is a 1-year Post Doctoral position (37 hours/week) from 01.02.2027.
You will be contributing to the development of catalytic methods based on transition metal catalysis applied to the conversion of specific plastic types to carbon capture materials.
The position will focus on different catalytic processes and improving their performance for upscaling the production of CO2 capture materials, and then their combined use in CO2 capture and conversion.
You will be involved in independent and collaborative projects dealing with the combined carbon capture and conversion. These activities will be in close collaboration with other members of the CORC research centre working in the field of CO2 capture and utilisation.
The candidate must have a PhD in synthetic chemistry or similar. The candidate is required to have a strong background in organic synthesis and transition metal catalysis. The candidate must have a strong background in organometallic chemistry and the synthesis of organometallic complexes.
The candidate must have experiences with the technologies for carbon capture and utilisation. The candidate must have good communication skills and experience in writing drafts for publications. The candidate must have experience with international collaborations.
The candidate must be able to work both independently but also serve as an excellent team player.
