In order to fill a fixed-term position in part-time (26,6861) by 01.08.2026, we are looking for one

Ph.D. candidate (m/f/x) in organic chemistry (organocatalysis/supramolecular chemistry)

Our group at Ruhr-University Bochum is mostly concerned with the study of noncovalent interactions. In parallel, however, we also explore the chemistry of donor-substituted cyclopropenium (cyclopropanide) systems.

Scope: part-time
Duration: fixed-term, 3 Jahre
Start: by 01.08.2026
Apply by: 2026-05-27

Your tasks:

The candidate (m/f/x) will design multi-step synthesis towards functionalized cylcopropanide systems. Targets will be characterized by NMR, other spectroscopic techniques, as well as CV and sXRD. A particular focus will be on diazo compounds and their follow-up reactions. More information can be found at DOI: 10.1002/chem.202203149.

Your profile:

• M.Sc. degree in chemistry (already granted or to be granted prior to the start of the position)
• experience in multi-step organic syntheses and the characterization of reaction products
• experience in the handling of air-sensitive compounds and reactions under inert-gas conditions
• very good command of English, oral and written
• (ideally) experience in the handling of diazo compounds
• (ideally) experience in performing DFT calculations
• (ideally) experience in X-ray crystallography or CV
