Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz University of Zurich Vollzeit
Your responsibilities

You will be responsible for developing new synthesis methods and reagents, synthesizing the required substrates, optimizing reactions, and elucidating the underlying reaction mechanisms using spectroscopic, electrochemical, and mass spectrometric methods.

Additionally you will also be involved in teaching by supervising practical laboratory courses and bachelor/master theses.
Your profile
We are looking for an enthusiastic, dedicated and creative individual. The successful candidate will be driven by curiosity and be a strong and proactive team player. You must have a Bachelor's/Master's degree in organic or inorganic chemistry. Basic communication skills in English are required.
What we offer
We are a dynamic young research group led by Dr. David Rombach.

We strive to treat each other with respect and to create an encouraging and motivating work atmosphere that values the individual, whoever that may be.

Our research combines aspects of synthetic inorganic, organic, radio and photochemistry with mechanistic studies using an integrated spectroscopic approach as well as computational chemistry.

This project is embedded in a strong European collaborative network.
