A two-year postdoctoral position funded by the Carl-Trygger fellowship is available in the research group of Prof. Dr. Jan Streuff. The planned project deals with the development of new titanium(III)-catalyzed reactions, more information can be given during the interview. There will be the possibility to work on other projects as well.
You should have a PhD in organic chemistry that has been awarded in the past two years and an excellent CV with key publications in top journals. You are expected to have a broad experience in organic synthesis, the development of conceptually new reactions, and to be proficient in carrying out reactions under inert gas atmosphere using Schlenk technique. Experience in organometallic chemistry and transition metal catalysis will be advantageous. You should further be able to drive projects forward independently and to think critically. It is important that you show a good team spirit, since you will be expected to support others with your experience such as junior group members. The working language is English and strong English skills (spoken and written) are a requirement.
