Job Description
Join the dynamic and innovative team at the Nol Research Group where we focus on pioneering catalytic strategies and cutting-edge technologies for chemical synthesis.
Join us!
We currently have two one-year postdoctoral positions available centered on our RoboChem initiatives and data-driven reaction optimization.
This is what you are going to do
This research offers a unique opportunity for highly multidisciplinary exploration within a diverse and collaborative team environment. Were looking for colleagues who embrace challenges with enthusiasm and are team players. If youre passionate about pushing boundaries and contributing to groundbreaking research we encourage you to join us in shaping the future of innovative technologies.
This is what we ask of you
We are looking for candidates who hold a recent PhD degree in chemistry or chemical engineering. The ideal candidate will thrive in a collaborative team environment and possess strong leadership skills to effectively guide a small subgroup of PhD and MSc students. While a robust publication record is valued we prioritize qualities such as high self-motivation drive and resilience over the quantity of publications. We seek individuals who are passionate about making meaningful contributions to the field of synthetic organic chemistry through technological innovation and are eager to tackle challenges with determination and enthusiasm.
- Working in a multidisciplinary team that aims to impact synthetic organic chemistry using technological innovations.
- Leading a small subgroup of PhD and MSc students.
- Writing papers relevant to the topic you will be working on.
- Collaborating closely with industry partners to translate research findings into practical applications.
- Presenting research findings at international conferences and seminars contributing to the dissemination of knowledge and fostering connections within the scientific community.
This is what we offer you
We offer a temporary employment contract for 3800 hours per week for a period of 12 months. The preferred starting date is as soon as possible.
The gross monthly salary based on 38 hours per week and dependent on relevant experience ranges between 3546 - 5538 (scale 10). This does not include 8% holiday allowance and 83% year-end allowance.
