Postdoctoral Researcher

🎓 (1) Postdoctoral Position available at Copenhagen University, funded by my European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant project Light-Cat in transition-metal catalysis! The project tackles key challenges in sustainability and homogeneous earth-abundant transition-metal catalysis by rationally developing new synthetic methods (e.g. using Fe, Co, Ni) within C-H activation. These reactions aim to transform abundant feedstock chemicals such as CO2 and biomass using thermal, electrochemical, and photochemical means into polymers or pharmaceuticals. 🌍 Open to candidates worldwide with a strong background in at least one of the topics of transition-metal catalysis, organometallic chemistry, electrochemistry, and photochemistry. 📌 Deadline to apply: 30 October 2026 🔗 Postdoc Full details: https://tinyurl.com/mrfwnahc 🔗 PhD Full details: https://tinyurl.com/4ru8kteu Group website: https://www.daygroupucph.com/ ✨ Highlights: 🔬 Work on cutting-edge challenges in synthetic chemistry and organometallic chemistry 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Join an international and multicultural group with frequent social activities 📍 Based in Copenhagen, Denmark | 🗓️ February 2027 start If you know a talented, motivated researcher looking to make an impact in sustainability and transition-metal catalysis — please share!
