Closing date: June 19, 2023.
The Department of Materials- and Environmental Chemistry (MMK) with about 140 employees is one of the largest departments at the Faculty of Natural sciences at Stockholm University (SU). The extensive research activities of MMK encompass both the development and characterization of large groups of (functional) materials, such as soft matter and polymers, biomaterials, self-assembled and porous materials, for primarily applications in Materials Science and Sustainable/Green Chemistry. The experimental characterisation techniques involve X-ray and neutron diffraction, electron microscopy, NMR and other spectroscopic techniques, along with modelling by computer simulations. Environmental aspects are an important part of the research activities.
Project description
Project Leader: Prof. Mattias Edén, Email: mattias.eden@mmk.su.se
Efficient drugs for the treatment of diseases are a critical need for society. A crucial step in drug development is to obtain the optimal solid form of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), which is challenging because most active pharmaceutical ingredients are able to adopt different solid forms (polymorphs), crystalline as well as amorphous. It is therefore imperative to develop new crystallization methods.
This project is one part of a research program lead by Prof. Xioadong Xou (PI), involving several research group at SU with a wide palette of expertise in material synthesis and characterization by experiments and modelling. The postdoc in the present project will perform structural studies involving routine as well as advanced magnic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR experimentation. These encompass (1) application and further refinements of a new NMR crystallography method yielding H-H internuclear distances and applied to APIs and cocrystals thereof. (2) Cocrystal formation studied in situ by MAS NMR.
Main responsibilities
We are inviting a self-motivated and creative individual to apply for a postdoc opening that will primarily involve application of advanced MAS NMR techniques (experimentation involving dipolar recoupling and 2D correlation NMR). The selected candidate is expected to plan, execute, and disseminate the research orally as well as in writing (scientific papers). The postdoc will work closely with personnel that have expertise in synthesis and materials characterization by diffraction techniques and electron microscopy, as well as in computer modeling.
Qualification Requirements
The applicant should have a Ph.D degree in Chemistry (preferred), Physics, or equivalent, and a well-documented experience with MAS NMR experimentation. The degree must have been completed at latest before the the scholarship decision is made, but no more than 3 years before the closing date of the application period. An older degree may be acceptable under special circumstances: such reasons encompass sick leave, parental leave, elected positions in trade unions, service in the total defense, or other similar circumstances as well as clinical attachment or service/assignments relevant to the subject area.
Selection criteria
The selection will be based primarily on scientific excellence and well-documented experience of applying advanced MAS NMR techniques (dipolar recoupling and 2D correlation NMR experimentation). The ideal candidate is a self-motivated and creative person with a passion for solving challenging scientific problems. The applicant should have strong English skills, both orally and in writing, and an ability to interact and collaborate with colleagues.
Scholarhip
The position is funded by a scholarship for up to two years. The amount of the scholarship and the starting date is negotiable. Stockholm University strives to be a workplace free from discrimination and with equal opportunities for all.

Dear colleagues,
I would like to draw your attention to an open position for a doctoral student for developing solid-state NMR approaches in catalysis and mechanochemistry, which is available in my laboratory located at the Institute of Technical and Macromolecular Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University (Germany).
The project aims at gaining structural and dynamic information of active centres in a variety of catalysts by solid-state NMR. These insights will be used to (i) develop a mechanistic description of the underlying catalytic processes and (ii) further fine-tune the catalytic properties of the systems investigated. The experimental approaches will be supported by quantum-chemical calculations, for instance of NMR observables, enabling a structural modelling of the active sites. The candidate will work in close collaboration with our partners at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion and RWTH Aachen University offering a broad range of catalytic systems, ranging from multifunctional adaptive catalysts, zeolites to frustrated Lewis pairs.
A central research theme will be to explore solid-state NMR experiments at fast magic-angle spinning frequencies (> 100 kHz) in characterizing hydrogenation reactions. We will also explore the synthesis and subsequent structural characterization of heterogeneous catalysts using mechanochemical concepts, such as ball milling or resonant-acoustic mixing. This project also comprises NMR method development to design and apply 1H- and 19F-detected NMR strategies at fast MAS to study ball-milling reactions.
For more information please see below.
I would be happy if you could distribute the job offer to interested candidates who should send their application to thomas.wiegand@cec.mpg.de.
Thank you in advance, stay healthy and all the best,
Thomas Wiegand

The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (MPI CEC) in Mülheim an der Ruhr studies fundamental chemical processes for energy storage in chemical molecules. The research group of Prof. Dr. Thomas Wiegand at the MPI CEC and the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH Aachen University) is looking for an enthusiastic
Doctoral student (m/f/d) for studying catalysts by solid-state NMR spectroscopy
The starting date is flexible; the temporary position is open from June 2023 for a period of 3 years.
We study catalytic processes in biology and chemistry by magnetic-resonance spectroscopy. We are employing and developing solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) approaches to unravel catalytic reactions (e.g. hydrogenation reactions), self-assembly phenomena in the context of phase separation and protein-nucleic acid interactions for instance in motor proteins fuelled by ATP hydrolysis. A central research theme is the analysis of weak chemical interactions at the heart of molecular recognition events, particularly noncovalent ones, using fast Magic-Angle Spinning (MAS) NMR. Very recently, we also explore the influence of mechanochemical forces, with pressure being the most important one, on organic reactions and on bond scission events in biomolecules. The lab located at the Institute of Technical and Macromolecular Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University is equipped with NMR spectrometers up to 700 MHz and MAS experiments up to 100 kHz. Our vision is to develop unified concepts in catalysis bridging the gap between biology and chemistry.
Available topic
The project will focus on developing and applying solid-state NMR strategies in studying catalysts. The project aims at achieving atomic-level insights in active centres of those systems. The objective is to gain structural and dynamic information of such centres and to use these insights to (i) develop a mechanistic description of the underlying catalytic processes and (ii) further fine-tune the catalytic properties of the systems investigated. The experimental approaches will be supported by quantum-chemical calculations, for instance of NMR observables, enabling a structural modelling of the active sites. The candidate will work in close collaboration with our partners at MPI CEC and RWTH Aachen University offering a broad range of catalytic systems, ranging from multifunctional adaptive catalysts, zeolites to frustrated Lewis pairs. A central research theme will be to explore solid-state NMR experiments at fast magic-angle spinning frequencies (> 100 kHz) in characterizing hydrogenation reactions. We will also explore the synthesis and subsequent structural characterization of heterogeneous catalysts using mechanochemical concepts, such as ball milling or resonant-acoustic mixing.
Prerequisites
Successful candidates should have a graduate science education in chemistry and a strong interest in spectroscopic techniques. The candidate should be highly motivated in NMR method development and application of NMR to research questions in chemical catalysis.
Our offer
We offer an international, dynamic working environment in a renowned research institute, family-friendly jobs and flexible working hours. The salary is in accordance with the funding guidelines of the Max Planck Society for junior scientists.
The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals.
