PhD Student Position in Organic and Supramolecular Chemistry

60 % :
Are you a problem-solver, an imaginative and creative thinker, with an idea for everything? Do you excel in making new molecules, shaping your designs into materials, and haven't lost your passion for learning? Then we got a job for you

We are a fresh research team at the University of Zurich. We do innovative chemistry, combining the
_versatility of organic synthesis_ with the
_power of self-assembly_. We strive to enable our students to deliver cutting-edge science while nurturing personality and team-play. Our team is international, made up of highly diverse backgrounds, experiences and personalities. What we don't know yet, we learn. What we can't learn, we create. Find out what we do and who we are on our website.

Your responsibilities:

In this fully funded, full time project, we develop hyperbolic π-surfaces that precisely stack to give unprecedented types of molecular assemblies.

This project involves the synthesis of molecular systems and the study of their assembly in solution and in the solid-state.

You will be involved in the design of these new targets, bring them to existence with your evolved synthetic skills, and then guide their assembly into functional superstructures.


Your profile:

We look for a highly motivated PhD student with strong skills in organic synthesis of aromatic systems and a flair for non-covalent interactions.

You convince with your hands-on attitude, agility, ambition and creativity. You have a humble personality and engage work and people with enthusiasm and generosity. You display strong team orientation and problem-solving skills. You are sceptical and independent, with high standards of competence and performance.

You show:

  • Comprehensive experience (MSc or equivalent in organic chemistry)
  • Proficiency in multistep organic synthesis, including microscale and inertatmosphere procedures
  • Experience designing and planning complex synthetic sequences
  • Familiarity with aromatic/functional dye chemistry
  • Practiced spectroscopic skills, with a particular emphasis on NMR spectroscopy
  • Very good English skills (our daytoday language is English)

What we offer:

Here is something you don't get every day: We will migrate our labs to the University of Geneva, so you will get two Unis for the price of one: you start your PhD journey in Zurich and will be one of the key players when we move to Geneva in the second half of 2023.

If you are curious for new experience, have a high sense of mobility, welcome exposure and like breaking ground, perfect.

This position is just made for you
