Institut für Organische Chemie
With more than 16,000 students and 3,800 employees, the Technische Universität Braunschweig is one of Germany´s leading institutes of technology. It stands for strategic and performance-oriented thinking and acting, relevant research, committed teaching, and the successful transfer of knowledge and technologies to the economy and society. We consistently advocate for family friendliness and equal opportunities.
Our research focuses are mobility, engineering for health, metrology, and city of the future. Strong engineering and natural sciences are our core disciplines. These are closely interconnected with economics, social and educational sciences and humanities.
Our campus is located in the midst of one of the most research-intensive regions in Europe. We work successfully together with over 20 research institutions in our neighborhood as we do with our international partner universities.
Starting from August 15, the Institute of Organic Chemistry is looking for a
Postdoc (m/f/d) in the field of Organic Chemistry and Natural Products
(EG 13 TV-L, full-time)
The position is to be filled on a fixed-term basis for a period of 2 years, non-extendable. The successful applicant will be given the opportunity for further scientific qualification.
Our research group is interested in the Chemistry of communication of various organisms ranging from butterflies to bacteria. We identify volatile and semi-volatile secondary metabolites from limited amounts of material, using GC/MS, GC/IR, and other methods. Proposed structures have to be verified by synthesis. Research is done in cooperation with biologists. The project aims at the identification and synthesis of volatiles from various sources. Therefore, the candidate has to perform both total synthesis and organic trace analysis, as well as microbial fermentation. An interest in biological questions is a prerequisite. The project is funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG) and will be performed in close cooperation with partners. Our research can be found here: www.oc.tu-bs.de/schulz/index_en.html
