PhD Positions in Stimuli-Responsive Organometallic Chemistry
vor 2 Wochen
The Bezdek Group applies the tools and approaches of organic/inorganic/organometallic chemistry to synthesize molecules and materials with stimuli-responsive (sensory) and energy storage function. The targeted chemistry spans organic molecules, transition metal complexes, and carbon nanomaterials.
The foci of the PhD projects are to:
- Design and execute new synthetic routes to organic molecules, transition metal complexes, and functionalized carbon nanomaterials.
- Gain insight into the electronic structures, magnetic/thermochemical properties of newly synthesized materials using a suite of spectroscopic techniques (NMR, EPR, IR, UV-Vis, Raman, XPS), crystallography (single-crystal, powder), and electrochemistry.
- Apply the molecules/materials as energy storage media or as selective sensing elements.
Throughout the course of the projects, students will gain proficiency in synthesizing and characterizing organic/inorganic molecules and nanomaterials in addition to acquiring hands-on experience in energy storage/sensor device fabrication and testing. Consequently, students will bring multiple areas of expertise to bear in order to solve problems and will receive a highly multidisciplinary education.
ProfileWe are looking for someone with a M.Sc. degree or equivalent in chemistry or a related area and a background in synthetic chemistry. Exceptional candidates holding B.Sc. degrees will also be considered. Any previous experience in air- and moisture-free manipulations (i.e., Schlenk technique, glovebox operations) and electrochemistry are an advantage but not essential.
Above all, we are seeking highly motivated and enthusiastic scientists who thrive in collaborative working environments, enjoy taking on challenges, learning new skills, critical thinking, and problem solving. Fluent communication skills in English (oral and written) are essential, as is a willingness to work as part of a highly interactive, international, and diverse team.
A note: research indicates that women and individuals from marginalized groups tend to apply only when they meet all of the criteria. If you believe you’re qualified, but don’t necessarily check every box, please submit an application.
We offerThe PhD positions are fully funded for four years (extendable) with a competitive salary according to ETH standards. The targeted starting date is July 1, 2025 but is flexible and can be adjusted upon mutual agreement.
- Your career with impact: Become part of ETH Zurich, which not only supports your professional development but also actively contributes to positive change in society.
- You can expect numerous benefits, such as public transport season tickets and car sharing, a wide range of sports offered by the ASVZ, childcare, and attractive pension benefits.
In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity, and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected. Visit our Equal Opportunities and Diversity website to find out how we ensure a fair and open environment that allows everyone to grow and flourish.
Curious? So are we.We look forward to receiving your online application with the following documents:
- Motivation letter (1-page) providing information on relevant skills and experience, and reasons for applying for the position
- CV, including qualifications, past academic and professional experience
- Academic transcripts (for both B.Sc. and M.Sc. studies)
- Names and contact details of two references
Please submit an application by March 15, 2025. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application portal. Applications via email or postal services will not be considered.
