Research Associate and PhD Candidate in Analytical Chemistry | Qualifizierungsstellte mit dem Ziel der Promotion fb15-0004-wmz-2026
Philipps-Universität Marburg
Job Summary
This position at the University of Marburg offers a unique opportunity for an aspiring scientist to pursue a PhD while contributing to cutting-edge research in the Department of Chemistry. The successful candidate will focus on the continuous flow synthesis of linear, branched, and cyclic polymer compounds, specifically investigating reaction selectivity within mesoporous confinement in microreactors. Day-to-day responsibilities include the independent packing of reactors, operating online coupled analytics, and conducting research in flow catalysis. The role is based in a highly specialized laboratory environment equipped with advanced chromatography and glovebox facilities. This position is particularly attractive for those seeking to bridge the gap between polymer synthesis and analytical characterization within a supportive academic framework that includes professional development through the Marburg Research Academy (MARA).
Required Skills
Education
Completed university degree (Master's, Diploma, or equivalent) in Chemistry, preferably with a specialization in Analytical Chemistry.
Experience
- Professional experience in flow catalysis specifically related to polymer synthesis and analytics
- Practical experience in handling Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC)
