About this position

Doctoral/PhD position at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Analytical Chemistry / Physical Chemistry, focused on advancing stable isotope analysis to study the mechanism of heterogeneous photocatalytic systems using kinetic isotope effect measurements.

The project combines compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA), reaction mechanism elucidation, and photocatalysis. The successful candidate will conduct and plan photocatalytic experiments for isotope effect measurements, develop analytical protocols for dedicated target compounds, systematically vary reaction conditions to probe isotope effects, and synthesize labeled substances for complementary mechanistic studies. The work is carried out in collaboration with the Chair of Physical Chemistry.

This opportunity is especially relevant for students interested in chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical methods, reaction kinetics, mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, and environmentally relevant catalytic systems. The project aims to build a molecular-level understanding of photocatalytic reactions and support the development of competitive materials for practical applications.

Funding: the position is fully funded and paid at 67% TV-L E13. The position is available immediately. The candidate will join the TUM Graduate School and may present results at international conferences and publish in leading journals.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold an above-average master's degree in chemistry, have strong experimental research interest, be willing to learn new techniques, and be able to work across disciplines. Very good English communication skills are required; experience with catalytic reaction systems, mass spectrometry, or gas chromatography is preferred.

How to apply: email your CV, Master's and Bachelor's certificates, transcript of records, motivation letter, and names of possible references to Prof. Martin Elsner ([email protected]). See the linked TUM research pages for additional background information.
