PhD Research Fellow in organic synthesis / organic chemistry

Job Description

PhD Research Fellow – Organic Synthesis / Organic Chemistry at the University of Bergen.

The focus of the project is the development of photoresponsive molecular systems for light‑driven energy storage and conversion, with an emphasis on photoswitches. The candidate will work on the synthesis, characterization, and investigation of the photochemical properties of functional molecular systems, and will participate in systematic screening approaches to identify promising candidates.

The project will further involve the development and optimization of synthetic and analytical workflows, incorporating modern reaction technologies such as high‑throughput experimentation (HTE), flow chemistry, and automated screening approaches. Depending on background and interests, the work may also involve process development, automation, and platform development for chemical synthesis and analysis.
