Odense M

The research team led by Erik Hedegård at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy, University of Southern Denmark (Odense) invites applications for a PhD position. The PhD subject can be either focused on applying quantum-mechanical methods to uncover the mechanism of bio-inorganic catalysts for C–H activation or development of quantum chemical methods for transition metals. The latter will be with particular focus on methods for larger systems, e.g. proteins, enzymes, condensed phases or materials.

We are looking for outstanding and highly-motivated candidates with a Master’s degree in chemistry, preferably with specialization in physical and theoretical chemistry. Experience with application of quantum mechanical methods for proteins is an advantage. The candidate will join a dynamic and curiosity-driven research group and is expected to work in close collaboration with other research teams both at the department and internationally.

The Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy offers a stimulating research environment, with research topics, ranging from drug-discovery, bio-inorganic and bio-organic synthetic chemistry to material science.

The appointment will be for a term of three years at a very competitive salary. The exact starting date is flexible, but expected to be in the spring/summer 2022. Funding for travel to conferences, workshops and PhD-schools is available. Application deadline: 20 April 2022.

Prospective candidates are required to include at least two letters of recommendation along with a motivation letter (one page) in their application.

The Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy is one of four departments at the Faculty of Science, SDU and is located in Odense. The Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy is a department focused on basic research. We are happy to move beyond traditional disciplines and work to develop new technologies and sciences across physics, chemistry, pharmacy, mathematics, computer science and biology. The department’s research thus contributes to new knowledge and solutions with applications in the areas of climate, environment, energy and health.

The department handles research in chemistry, physics and pharmacy along with several interdisciplinary areas, and also houses several major research centres. The Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy is responsible for the educations in chemistry, medicinal chemistry and physics, as well as the bachelor’s education in pharmacy. The selected PhD candidate will be placed in the Section for Chemistry and Pharmacy.
