Two PhD positions are available in organometallic chemistry and catalysis at DTU Chemistry.
Project description:
The purpose of the first project is to study the dehydrogenation and decarbonylation of alcohols and polyalcohols with transition metal catalysts. The project is part of a larger strategic research project funded by the Danish Council for Strategic Research where the aim is to develop new methods for converting biomass into fuels and energy.
The purpose of the second project is to study new aspects of the Grignard addition reaction as well as the dehydrogenative coupling between alcohols and amines. The project is funded by the Torkil Holm Foundation and DTU Chemistry.
Applicants should indicate if one of the two positions is preferred. Both positions will be available from 1 October 2010 or soon thereafter.
Qualifications:
Candidates should have a master’s degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree in engineering.
Candidates may apply prior to obtaining their master’s degree, but cannot begin the PhD studies before the master’s degree has been received.
Further information:
Further information may be obtained from Professor Robert Madsen, DTU Chemistry tel. +45 4525 2151.
