Fully Funded PhD and Postdoc Positions in Supramolecular Metallopolymers and Main-Group Polymers at University of Bayreuth University of Bayreuth in Germany

Open PhD and Postdoc positions are available in the Plajer Group at the University of Bayreuth. The group is recruiting synthetic chemists to work across two research directions: supramolecular metallopolymers and main-group polymers.

The first line focuses on chiral, stimuli-responsive, light-emitting hybrid materials built from metal-containing building blocks. The second line centers on catalytic ring-opening polymerisation of main-group-containing monomers for the development of recyclable materials. These projects sit at the intersection of chemistry, polymer science, and materials science.

The opening is explicitly described as fully funded and comes with a TV-L contract. The PhD position is for 4 years, while the postdoctoral position is for 2 years. The planned start date is from September 2026.

Applicants with experience or interest in supramolecular chemistry or polymer chemistry are especially encouraged to apply. The post does not mention a formal deadline, language test requirement, or tuition-related waiver.

To apply, send your application documents directly to [email protected]. For more details about the group’s chemistry and research, consult the linked information provided in the post.
