Nordic Consortium for CO2 Conversion

Are you our new colleague?

We are pleased to announce the opening of a 2-year postdoc position within the CHOCO group on the topic of “New Reactions for CO₂ Activation”. We are looking to fill the position as soon as possible, so prepare to 

pack your bags and start your arctic adventure in the beautiful city of Tromsø!

Field of Research:
The Postdoctoral Research Fellow  will use quantum chemical methods (standard density

functional theory and ab initio molecular dynamics) to model molecules and reactions and to propose promising new molecules for activation of CO₂, especially towards enantioselective carbon-carbon bond formation. The work will be performed in close collaboration with experimental organic chemists. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be located at the Dept. of Chemistry and will become a member of an enthusiastic interdisciplinary research team, which combines computational and organic chemistry tools in the development of novel catalysts (group website: https://site.uit.no/choco).

The candidate can expect to be involved in the supervision of Master and PhD students in the group in an amount equivalent to maximum 10 % of a full-time employment.

A 2-year post-doctoral fellowship position is now open within the CHOCO research group at UiT.

Field of research:

“The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will employ experimental organic chemistry methods to investigate organic and organometallic molecules that can bind and activate CO₂. The project goal will be to design enantioselective carboxylation reactions and to obtain an in-depth mechanistic understanding of these. The work will be performed in collaboration with computational chemists in the team. The postdoc will be located at the Dept. of Chemistry and will become a member of an enthusiastic interdisciplinary research team, which combines theoretical and organic chemistry tools in the development of novel catalysts (group website: https://site.uit.no/choco).

The candidate can expect to be involved in the supervision of Master and PhD students in the group and may participate in teaching at the Department of Chemistry in an amount equivalent to a maximum 10% of a full-time employment.”

A postdoctoral position in Organic Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis is now open in the Department of Chemistry at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø. The position will be affiliated to the Chemical Synthesis and Analysis research group. The position is for 2 years, with the possibility of a 1-year extension.

Field of Research:

“The work will focus on the design of new renewable ligands and catalysts. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will be responsible for preparation of new phosphine and carbene ligands as well as for transition metal complexes based on these ligands. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will evaluate the activity of prepared ligands and complexes on several transition metal-catalyzed transformations of industrial importance.”
