About this position
University of Gothenburg is recruiting a PhD student in Chemistry for the SundénLab in the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology.
The project sits at the interface of synthetic organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, and materials science, with a focus on supramolecular polymer chemistry based on the OTHO platform. The research explores how external stimuli, especially sound waves, can direct molecular self-assembly and create responsive materials with potential applications in chemical recovery, reagent immobilization, and adaptive material technologies.
The position is described as a fully funded doctoral employment lasting four years full-time, with possible departmental duties of up to 20% that may extend the study period. The group emphasizes sustainability, efficiency, and innovation in chemistry, and the doctoral student will join an international, interdisciplinary research environment.
Applicants should have a strong background in synthetic organic chemistry and practical laboratory experience. Useful experience includes organic synthesis, purification, characterization of organic compounds, and analytical techniques such as NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, chromatography, rheology, and electron microscopy. A relevant second-cycle degree or equivalent in the natural sciences is required, along with strong spoken and written English.
The application is submitted via the University of Gothenburg recruitment portal. The post links to the official job advertisement and related background reading on the group’s previous OTHO and supramolecular materials work.

What's required
Applicants must have general doctoral eligibility, including a second-cycle degree or equivalent, or at least 240 higher education credits with at least 60 credits at second-cycle level. Specific eligibility requires a second-cycle degree or equivalent in a natural sciences subject relevant to the planned third-cycle education, or at least 60 second-cycle credits in a relevant natural sciences subject. Applicants must have a good command of spoken and written English. The ideal candidate has a strong background in synthetic organic chemistry, with documented experience in organic synthesis, purification, and characterization of organic compounds, and hands-on experience with NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and chromatographic methods. Interest in supramolecular chemistry, materials science, practical laboratory work, molecular design, and the ability to work independently and in a research group are important; experience with supramolecular/materials characterization is an advantage.
