PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Catalysis in Austria

This postdoctoral project develops the chemical-catalysis component of the ANR TOOLS4HYBCAT project, which targets the conversion of biomass-derived D-glucose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). The research will focus on the acid-catalysed dehydration of D-fructose, the intermediate produced by enzymatic isomerization of D-glucose. The postdoctoral researcher will identify suitable chemical catalysts, assess their stability and compatibility with the intended operating conditions, and evaluat...

The project focuses on the development of non-covalent supra...

This PhD project in chemistry will develop metal-based molecular systems that can both detect chemical warfare agents and catalytically break them down into harmless or less harmful products. The research focuses on multifunctional coordination cages : discrete polymetallic architectures with tuneable internal cavities and rich host–guest chemistry. These systems will be designed to combine molecular recognition, optical sensing and catalytic remediation within a single platform. The student wil...

A postdoctoral position in the Ming Chen research group at Virginia Tech focuses on developing asymmetric transformations catalyzed by transition-metal complexes . The project centers on reaction development and mechanistic investigation, with an emphasis on synthetic applications of newly developed catalytic methods. The postdoctoral associate will work on parallel reaction-condition screening and product identification using advanced analytical techniques. This is a research-intensive role in ...

The Ribbe/Hu laboratories in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at the University of California, Irvine are recruiting postdoctoral scholars to work on the catalysis and/or assembly of nitrogenase. The project sits at the intersection of biochemical mechanism and structural biology, with a particular emphasis on how this important metalloenzyme is assembled and functions in the laboratory setting. Researchers in the Ribbe/Hu group will be part of an active postdoctoral environm...

The PhD project is based at the Erlangen Center for Interface Research and Catalysis (ECRC) at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and is hosted in the group of Prof. Jörg Libuda. The research explores catalytic processes on real and model catalyst systems with a strong focus on understanding how modifiers, additives, and activation procedures influence highly selective (de)functionalization reactions. The core of the work is an experimental investigation of catalytic functio...
