The Professorship
The professorship is intended to strengthen the current research on biomolecular and supramolecular chemistry at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and the Center for Nanosystems Chemistry in the areas of synthetic, mechanistic, biomolecular and supramolecular chemistry. The ideal candidate is a visible early career molecular scientist, who is active in an emerging area of Organic Chemistry or Chemical Biology, has demonstrated interdisciplinary expertise, and proven ability to attract competitive external research funding. Active participation in ongoing and planned collaborative projects within the faculty is expected. Possible future research directions include but are not limited to the design, synthesis and functional analysis of biomolecular and/or supramolecular systems and processes, emerging topics and innovative methods in biological chemistry and organic functional materials based on natural or bioinspired artificial building blocks.
The responsibilities include research and teaching as well as the promotion of early-career scientists. The successful candidate will contribute to teaching of organic chemistry in bachelor and master degree programs (including state examinations), as well as medicine and food chemistry study programs. The University of Würzburg puts emphasis on the excellent supervision of students and doctoral candidates, and expects high levels of engagement from teaching staff.
