The Faculty of Chemistry has the following job opening: 
Research Position in IOCB
ID: Wiss24244
- starting: as soon as possible
- Teilzeit 67 %
- salary according to Remuneration level 13 TV-L
- befristet
Our IOCB-research group in the Faculty of Chemistry at Bielefeld University, consisting of a team of 15 to 20 staff members, focuses with research topics on industrial organic chemistry and biotechnology, working on these within the framework of various national and international third-party projects.
Academic co-working in a research project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) on the combination of electrochemical and biocatalytic reactions. The resulting synthesis processes are intended to contribute to the sustainable production of industrial chemicals with energy minimisation and waste avoidance. The enzymes involved in the biocatalytic reactions are to be recombinantly expressed and used in organic syntheses and combined with electrochemical steps. The electrochemical steps are also to be specifically developed with a view to compatibility with the biocatalytic reactions.
The employment is conducive to scientific qualification. The employee will be given the opportunity to complete a doctorate in the research project.
