Research Associate (Doctoral Candidate Track) in Organic Chemistry | Wissenschaftliche*n Mitarbeiter*in mit der Zielrichtung Promotion

Job Summary

This is a fixed-term, part-time (50%, 19.35 hours/week) research position at the Otto Diels Institute for Organic Chemistry at Kiel University, specifically designed for a candidate pursuing a PhD. The core focus involves synthesizing and characterizing photomechanical polymer films, integrating extensive organic synthesis with specialized techniques like microfluidics, polymer analysis, and optical experimentation. Day-to-day responsibilities include rigorous experimental work, comprehensive data evaluation and theoretical preparation, meticulous documentation, and writing manuscripts for publication. The role also includes a teaching commitment (2 hours per week), involving supervising students in practicals and final theses. Candidates must possess a strong background in synthesis and photochemistry, practical experience setting up experiments, and advanced knowledge of analytical methods. This is an excellent opportunity for highly motivated individuals with initial industrial exposure seeking advanced academic qualification in functional organic materials research.
