About this position

Two fully funded PhD positions are available in an interdisciplinary research environment at TU Wien, Vienna, Austria, within the ERC Starting Grant project INTERCHAIN led by Dr. Florian Glöcklhofer. The project focuses on the synthesis and application of conjugated polymers with interchain aromaticity, combining synthetic chemistry, polymer science, materials chemistry, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and device/application-oriented research.

The advertised work spans two complementary PhD tracks: one centered on molecular design, synthesis, macrocyclization, cross-coupling, purification, and polymerization; the other focused on processing, solid-state characterization, thin-film formation, charge-transport measurements, and applications. The lab emphasizes open, reproducible research, detailed documentation, and collaboration with computational and experimental partners.

Funding: fully funded for 3 years, with a salary of EUR 2,832.10 gross per month (14 payments per year), plus health and pension insurance. Additional benefits include a supportive international environment, access to state-of-the-art facilities, coaching support, and transport-related benefits.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold an MSc or equivalent in Synthetic Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry, Materials Science, or a closely related field by the start date. Strong written and spoken English is required; German is not required. Relevant prior experience may include cross-coupling reactions, NMR, GPC, MS, UV-Vis, fluorescence, Raman/FTIR, electrochemistry, thin-film preparation, mobility/conductivity measurements, and interest in conjugated polymers, aromaticity, and safe-by-design synthesis.

Application: submit a short video (up to 6 minutes), CV, and academic transcripts/certificates via the TU Wien upload portal. The deadline is 30 August 2026. Informal enquiries can be sent to [email protected].

Note: the post also mentions a separate LinkedIn announcement referencing bioinformatics, genomics, computational biology, and AI at the University of Vienna, but the detailed application text provided here is for the TU Wien PhD positions in conjugated polymers.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
