The International Doctorate Program (IDK) of Excellence Photo-ElectroCatalysis (PEC) represents a consortium of 11 research groups focusing on the sustainable development of thermodynamically or kinetically challenging transformations via photon or electric
energy intake.
For the research projects of the IDK, we are looking for Doctoral Researchers (m/f/d)

Your opportunities
Research activities of the IDK embrace synthetic methodology, flow chemistry, coordination chemistry, spectroscopy, and computational/theoretical chemistry. All research projects are highly interdisciplinary and provide you with multifaceted scientific training opportunities. You will be based at the University of Regensburg or TU Munich, depending on the location of the individual research project and your Ph.D. supervisor. The projects will be carried out in collaboration with international academic partners and industrial mentors and should also include a research stay at a respective partner, including the option of obtaining a Dual Ph.D. degree.
Descriptions of the individual research projects and more other information can be found at https://pec.app.ur.de

Your qualification
• Master’s degree or equivalent in chemistry or in a related science.
• Very good performance in your studies and great enthusiasm for science
• Social competence, good English communication skills (B2 or higher), open-minded and flexible.

Application
Please apply including your preference(s) for the research project and supervisor, letter of motivation, CV, academic transcript of records, and contact information of two references by e-mail (single PDF file) exclusively to
idk-pec[ät]ur.de
Applications will be considered until all positions have been filled.

About the Project:
Our group are interested in diverse applications of supramolecular chemistry, from coordination chemistry and self-assembly to polymer science and molecular photoswitches. For more information our group’s recent research, see https://bevesgroup.wordpress.com/publications/

This project is in collaboration with Prof. Palli Thordarson (@pallithordarson), Prof. Ayusman Sen Penn State (@ayusmansen) and Prof. Dean Astumian UMaine (@DeanAstumian).

This ARC-funded project aims to understand the mechanisms behind the directed bulk transport of molecules by controlled diffusion and flow linked by chemical reactions and chemical concentration gradients. This project will provide the first detailed experimental data to test proposed theories and produce a fundamental understanding of how molecules can undergo controlled transport. Expected outcomes include a new understanding of how molecules can be guided toward their desired targets, which could have applications in waste collection or sensing by concentrating analytes, and for understanding biological processes.

Skills gained include: Organic synthesis, host-guest chemistry, NMR spectroscopy and microfluidics experiments, optical microscopy, data analysis including kinetics modelling.

Required: BSc/MSc with Major in Chemistry; some experience with synthesis; UV-vis spectroscopy; interpreting NMR spectra. A willingness to learn some python coding and microscopy techniques, such as confocal microscopy.

PhD program: At UNSW our PhD program is 3.5 years of full time research, with no coursework requirements.

Eligibility:

· All nationalities are eligible.

· You must meet the English language requirements in order to apply. (https://www.unsw.edu.au/study/how-to-apply/english-language-requirements)

· You must have the equivalent of a 4 year undergraduate degree, with at least 9 months of research and an examined thesis (equivalent to UNSW 1^st Class Honours).

Funding Notes

The available stipends will match the Australian Government Research Training Program scholarship (2022 rate = $28,854), plus relocation expenses.

How to apply: email A/Prof. Beves your CV, academic transcript (undergraduate and any postgraduate coursework grades) and the contact details for at least two (2) referees.

In this project you will prepare coordination complexes and study their photophysical and electrochemical properties. From this you will understand how these can be most effectively applied to photoredox catalysis, and in multi-component molecular devices and machines. The work will involve a wide range of analytical techniques (NMR, MS, XRD, UV-vis etc) and will involve collaborations with external partners, including in ultrafast spectroscopy.

Skills gained include: Organic and inorganic chemistry synthesis, host-guest chemistry, NMR spectroscopy, optical (UV-vis and emission) spectroscopy, electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, and single crystal X-ray crystallography.

Required: BSc/MSc with Major in Chemistry; some experience with inorganic (coordination chemistry) synthesis; UV-vis spectroscopy; interpreting NMR spectra. A willingness to learn new techniques.
