If you are excited to learn from and to contribute to our group, then join us!

Positions are available for PhD students, bachelor & master thesis projects, lab course research internships, and (inter)national visiting students. We encourage diverse research and workgroup environments as a key factor to excellent science and creative thinking, so we welcome all applications no matter who you are or where your are from!

Typical procjects involve the synthesis and characterization of organic ligands and catalytically active metal complexes or the synthesis and characterization of organic linkers and corresponding metal-organic framework catalysts. Complexes or MOFs are then employed for electrocatalytic hydrogenation reactions, including kinetic and mechanistic studies based on in situ analysis of the catalysts.

To arrange internships, bachelor theses, and master theses projects, please email Dominik at any time ([email protected]), or step by at the office 56 209 in the orange tower.

To apply for PhD and postdoc positions, please email Dominik with a cover letter, CV, and optionally a one page summary of your research interests (either your own project idea, or specific project aspects of our group that you are interested in).  We are also happy to advise and assist auspicious candidates with preparing high quality fellowship applications for external funding agencies, to enhance their career and to support our group.

In the Halter Group, you can currently learn and pursue: ligand design, organometallic synthesis, metal-organic framework synthesis, synthesis of electrocatalyst materials, Schlenk line and glovebox inert gas techniques, mechanistic studies, electrochemical methods (including cyclic voltammetry, bulk electrolysis, impedance spectroscopy, and kinetic analysis of electrocatalytic ractions), NMR-, EPR-, IR-, and UV/Vis spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and much more!

What can we learn from you?
