Organometallics

Conducts research as part of a multidisciplinary team in chemical recycling of polymers and organometallic catalysis. The project will involve designing, synthesizing, and characterizing new recyclable polymers, and evaluating the thermomechanical properties of these materials. This research program will include studies towards understanding reaction mechanisms through reaction kinetics analysis and other physical organic and inorganic techniques.

Position Requirements

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to start at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) in early 2025. Our research will integrate inorganic and organometallic synthesis, catalysis and organic chemistry to develop new synthetic strategies using abundant metals. We offer the opportunity to join a young and dynamic research environment, focused on new sustainable chemical processes. The position will be based on the synthesis of new biofuels using alkali-metal catalyzed transformations.

Start Date:  March 2025 (or upon agreement)
