Job description:
The successful applicant is expected to have experience in the field of dynamic combinatorial chemistry, and to have worked with organoselenium-based materials. We offer a position in an exciting research environment where synthetic (organic) chemistry is used in concert with physical-organic chemistry, computational methods and spectroscopic methods to solve problems in contemporary organic chemistry.
Qualifications:
Postdoctoral positions require qualifications at the PhD level.
The postdoc position is a full-time research position and does not involve any teaching obligations. Note that the position will not contribute to a broadening of pedagogical competencies. Therefore, the postdoctoral position may not alone qualify for appointment as associate professor/senior researcher.
