The Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences is looking for a PhD candidate for the characterization and quantitation of nanoplastics in environmental samples.

In this role, supported by major Programme Grant funding from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, you will undertake research on nanostructured and nano-mechanical metamaterials for telecoms, laser and nanoscale imaging and metrology applications.

A 3-year PhD fellowship in organic chemistry and homogeneous asymmetric metal catalysis under the supervision of Assistant Professor Søren Kramer is available at the Technical University of Denmark. The project will be performed in the Organic and Inorganic Chemistry Section at DTU Chemistry.

If you have solid experience within scaling up and down processes in pilot plants or at full scale production units, you have just the perfect background for this exciting position. That is, if you are looking for a job with major freedom to operate in a very open and non-hierarchical environment where you will have key responsibility. You must also be motivated by breaking new ground as every project we start up is first of it’s kind. Boring is not a word we use.
