Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Electrochemical Synthesis and Catalysis (0.8-1.0 FTE)
Rijksuniversiteit Groningen
OrganisationJob descriptionWe have an opening for an Assistant Professor to strengthen our position in the field of electrochemical synthesis and catalysis, affiliated with the nationwide ARC CBBC Programme ( ).Synthetic chemistry is a core discipline of the chemical sciences and a major challenge for the coming decades is the development of sustainable chemical synthetic processes. Electrochemical synthesis, electrocatalysis and photoredox-catalysis have the potential to replace current synthetic methods and allow production based on low-cost electricity and low-waste transformations. Both in research and teaching, investment in high level electrochemical synthesis is warranted to maintain a frontier international position in synthesis and chemical conversion. As affiliated to the ARC CBBC, the candidate will have ample opportunities to strengthen academic and industrial cooperation with other CBBC partners (from the University of Groningen, Utrecht University, Eindhoven University of Technology, Shell, Akzo-Nobel, Nouryon and BASF).As Assistant Professor with a focus on research you will have the opportunity to develop your own research line and research group, contribute to our English-taught Chemistry & Chemical Engineering BSc & MSc programs, supervise PhD students and post-doctoral researchers, acquire external funding, and promote the societal relevance of your research.With our faculty’s Career Paths in Science and Engineering, you will have excellent career development opportunities, including the potential for a permanent appointment (tenure) in 1-3 years and advancement to Full Professor within approximately 10 years. At the stage of Assistant Professor, 60% of your time is dedicated to research, 30% to teaching, and 10% to organisational tasks.At the Stratingh Institute for Chemistry, we are committed to fostering the growth and development of young academic talent. We recognise the importance of providing ample opportunities for personal and professional advancement. Therefore, we offer
Organisation
The University of Groningen is a research university with a global outlook, deeply rooted in Groningen, City of Talent. Groningen is the lively capital of The Northern Netherlands with a high quality of life and affordable living conditions. The university has 34.000 students in BSc and MSc programmes, 4.400 PhD students, and 4.600 staff members. Our students and staff come from all around the world.Quality has been our top priority for over four hundred years, and with success: the University is currently in or around the top 100 on several influential ranking lists. The Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE – ) is the largest faculty within the University. We offer first-rate education and research in a wide range of science and engineering disciplines, from classical disciplines such as chemistry, astronomy and mechanical engineering, to interdisciplinary fields such as artificial intelligence, pharmacy and nanoscience. At FSE, education and research are strongly intertwined, and we value a strong disciplinary basis for our students. Our programmes in science and engineering, while diverse, share a common view on best practices for research-driven, international education. We are proud of the open, inclusive, and informal character of our community.The position we offer will be embedded in the Stratingh Institute for Chemistry and will be part of the ARC CBBC Programme ( ). The Stratingh Institute for Chemistry ( ) focuses on research in molecular and supramolecular chemistry, with overarching impact on biology, chemical engineering, and physics. The Stratingh Institute has an (inter-)national excellent position in synthetic chemistry and catalysis in the Dutch chemical landscape, and is recognized as a stronghold for synthesis.The ARC CBBC is a national center of excellence focusing on long term research in sustainable catalysis, materials and coatings and chemical engineering to provide sustainable solutions to the chemical processes, energy carriers and materials of the future. The Advanced Research Centre is a joined initiative of three universities: the University of Utrecht, the University of Groningen and the University of Eindhoven; four multinational companies: Shell, BASF, Akzo-Nobel, Nobian and Nouryon and the ministries of Economic Affairs and Science and Education (via NWO).QualificationsWe seek candidates with the following characteristics
Furthermore, we expect all new staff members to either have a University Teaching Qualification (Dutch: Basiskwalificatie Onderwijs) or obtain it within 3 years and, if they do not already speak it, to learn the Dutch language within at most five years.We strongly encourage applications from female candidates.Conditions of employmentThe Faculty of Science and Engineering of the University of Groningen was the first on the European mainland to introduce a tenure track career policy, 20 years ago, and with significant success. We have attracted great talents that have contributed strongly to the worldwide leading position of our faculty’s ten research institutes. Our career system has helped our staff members to develop highly successful and rewarding academic careers. The latest version of this system, ‘Career Paths in Science and Engineering’, offers
