About this position

The Mateos Lab at the University of Vienna is offering a fully funded PhD position in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, with a focus on homogeneous catalysis. The research will be integrated into ongoing projects on organoselenium reactivity, catalytic strategy, and reaction mechanism analysis. The group is particularly interested in candidates with backgrounds in radical chemistry, air-sensitive/glovebox techniques, photocatalysis, and main-group reactivity or catalysis.

The University of Vienna is a leading institution in Europe, providing excellent research infrastructure, first-class supervision, and a vibrant scientific community. Doctoral candidates benefit from structured doctoral programmes, opportunities for international collaboration, scientific publishing, and comprehensive professional and career development support. The position is part of the University of Vienna's STEM Call 2026, which offers more than 40 fully funded doctoral positions in Life Sciences and Natural Sciences, including Chemistry, Computer Sciences, Ecology and Evolution, Microbiology and Environmental Sciences, Pharmaceutical, Nutritional and Sport Sciences, and Physics.

The PhD position is fully funded for 3 years, with a possible 1-year extension, and the salary is according to the collective bargaining agreement (§48 VwGr. B1). The application period is from March 2 to March 27, 2026, and applications must be submitted online in English via the University of Vienna's central portal. Applicants should have completed or be about to complete a relevant diploma or master’s degree by the start of employment and should demonstrate a strong academic track record. Motivation, research interest, and relevant laboratory experience are advantageous.
