Michael Pittelkow

Several postdoc positions are open at the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen , in the area of organic chemistry and materials chemistry . The project, FUTURPLAST , focuses on developing the next generation of circular, strong, lightweight super materials for sustainable industrial polymer products. The research is highly interdisciplinary and combines organic synthesis , supramolecular chemistry , polymer science , nanomaterials , nanocomposites , and materials mechanics . The work will be carried out in collaboration with Nanocore and industrial partners Grundfos and SP Group , with support from Innovation Fund Denmark under the Grand Solutions program. Successful candidates will work in the groups of Prof. Mogens B. Nielsen , Prof. Jørn B. Christensen , and Prof. Michael Pittelkow . The postdoc roles involve research on CNT/PP-based materials, functionalization chemistry, polymer processing, and prototyping for industrial applications. Teaching duties may also be included. Applicants should have strong experience in organic synthesis , macromolecular/intermolecular interactions , or dynamic covalent chemistry . Additional strengths in wet chemistry, polymerization kinetics, thermodynamics, structure-property relationships, and characterization methods such as Raman , TEM , SEM , and X-ray are desirable. The positions are full time and last 1–3 years . The start date is 1 October 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The application deadline is 7 July 2026 at 23:59 GMT+1. Apply through the University of Copenhagen job portal and include a CV, diplomas, at least two scientific references, and a complete publication list.
