Associate Professor of Bioorganic and Systems Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry invites applications for a three‑year position as associate professor in bioorganic and systems chemistry. The position will start on 1 January 2027 and end on 28 February 2030.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Develop chemically regulated molecular assemblies to advance understanding of the chemical basis of life and to foster transformative development of new materials.
• Create new metabolism‑like reaction cycles or reaction cascades that kinetically control the generation of non‑equilibrium molecular assemblies able to utilize and dissipate chemical energy.
• Focus on bioorganic synthesis, thiol‑based reaction cycles, and cascades such as thioesterification/hydrolysis reaction cycles, non‑equilibrium molecular self‑assembly, and chemical principles relevant to the origin and mechanisms of life.
• Bridge traditional bioorganic chemistry with ...
