About this position

PhD position in Analytical Chemistry / Physical Chemistry at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany.

The Chair of Analytical Chemistry and Water Chemistry is recruiting for a doctoral project on advancing stable isotope analysis to study the mechanism of heterogeneous photocatalytic systems with kinetic isotope effect measurements. The work combines analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, photocatalysis, compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA), and mechanistic reaction studies.

The project aims to develop highly precise measurements of stable isotope ratios at natural abundance in organic substances, such as tertiary alcohols, and to use kinetic isotope effects to identify rate-determining steps and competing reaction mechanisms. In collaboration with the Chair of Physical Chemistry, the successful candidate will help characterize photocatalytic reactions under controlled conditions and contribute to the development of competitive materials for practical applications.

Typical tasks include planning and conducting photocatalytic experiments for isotope effect measurements, developing analytical protocols for target compounds, varying reaction conditions to probe isotope effects, and synthesizing labelled substances for mechanistic elucidation. The project also offers opportunities to present at international conferences and publish in leading journals. The doctoral researcher will join the TUM Graduate School.

Eligibility: an above-average master’s degree in chemistry, strong interest in experimental research, willingness to learn new techniques, interdisciplinary teamwork, and very good English communication skills. Experience with catalytic reaction systems, mass spectrometry, or gas chromatography is desirable.

Funding: fully funded, 67% TV-L E13. Location: Germany. Start: immediately.

How to apply: email your CV, degree certificates, transcript of records, motivation letter, and possible references to Prof. Martin Elsner ([email protected]). More information is available on the TUM research pages and the job portal link provided in the post.

Funding details

The position is fully funded and paid at 67% TV-L E13 under the Collective Agreement for the Civil Service of the Länder. The position is available immediately.

What's required

Applicants should hold an above-average master’s degree in chemistry. Strong interest in experimental research is required, along with willingness to learn new techniques, work across disciplines, and focus on mechanistic understanding, reaction kinetics, and analytical methods. Very good English communication skills are expected. Candidates should be able to work in an interdisciplinary team and ideally have experience with catalytic reaction systems, mass spectrometry, or gas chromatography.

How to apply

Send your CV, Master's and Bachelor's degree certificates, academic transcript of records, a letter of motivation, and the names of possible references to Prof. Martin Elsner by email.
