About this position

A fully funded PhD position is available in Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague. The research project focuses on the development of new enantioselective reactions using N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as catalysts, with applications in asymmetric catalysis for the synthesis of optically pure compounds. The project aims to create new carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions, applicable to the synthesis of diverse (hetero)cyclic molecules, including biologically relevant and structurally interesting compounds. The research will build on recently developed methodologies by the group.

The position is part of the Group of Asymmetric Synthesis, led by Prof. Jan Veselý, and offers a collaborative environment with material, computational, and synthetic chemists. The group has a strong publication record in leading journals. The position is fully funded for 4 years, with funding adequate to cover all living costs in Prague. The successful candidate will receive training in state-of-the-art organic methods and techniques and will join a friendly and enthusiastic research team.

Applicants should have an M.Sc. degree in organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, or related fields, with experience in synthesis and characterization of small molecules. A strong interest in organic synthesis and catalysis, openness to learning new techniques, teamwork skills, and good knowledge of English are required. The position is open for a September/October 2026 start (excluding a 2-month paid internship as part of the selection process).

To apply, send your CV to Dr. Vojtech Dočekal ([email protected]) by 15th January 2026. For more information, visit the research group page and review recent publications.
