Job Title: PhD Research Fellow in Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis

About the Position:

The Department of Chemistry at the University of Bergen invites applications for a 3-year PhD position as a Research Fellow in experimental organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. The position is funded by the University.

The successful candidate will be integrated into a team working on the development of catalysts suitable for industrial applications in the production of CO2-based polymers.

  • The primary objective of this project is to design, synthesize, and screen organometallic compounds as potential homogeneous catalysts for the efficient and selective conversion of epoxides and CO2 to polycarbonates or other value-added products.
  • The initial focus lies in tailor-made transition metal components bearing functionalized ligands, which will be systematically tested in standard epoxides/CO2 copolymerization processes, and subsequently with biorenewable resources.

**Required Qualifications:**

  • A master's degree or equivalent education in Chemistry.
  • Experience from synthesis of organometallic compounds.

**Benefits:**

  • A gross annual salary of NOK 540,500.
  • Enrolment in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund.
  • An opportunity to develop leadership and supervision skills.
