Development of novel methods for the synthesis of highly fluorinated liquid crystals

Objective

AREA OF RESEARCH TRAINING. Research training will be given in the field of liquid crystalline materials for use in active matrix displays. Main focus is the synthesis of novel, highly fluorinated liquid crystals and the development of new synthetic methodologies for the synthesis of such materials. Another aspect will be the physico-chemical evaluation of the new materials. The training will be promoted by the participation in internal and external scientific conferences. The fellow will be supervised in the guidelines of the innovation process ( strategic R&D management , project management , patent evaluation). THE WORK ENVIRONMENT. Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, an international chemical and pharmaceutical company offers you the opportunity to develop your scientific career whilst gaining experience of an industrial R&D environment. Merck KGaA is also the world market leader in the highly innovative field of liquid crystals for flat panel displays. You will be integrated in the Chemistry R&D Section of the Liquid Crystals Division, which is equipped with modern and well-equipped laboratories and an excellent infrastructure. Our work is focused on providing superior materials for the newest generation of flat panel displays as they are used for PC monitors, UMTS cellular phones or LCD-TV. You will be working in a stimulating multi-disciplinary and international environment: at the frontier of applied materials science QUALIFICATIONS/EXPERIENCE REQUIRED BY THE APPLICANT. Applicants should have a PhD in chemistry and an aptitude for pioneering novel chemistry technologies. She or he should have their basic skills in chemistry substantially expanded in the field of organic synthesis . She/he should be interested in a interdisciplinary mind-set and be a self-motivated, creative and ambitious scientist. An ability to interact with internal and external personnel from a variety of disciplines is an important requirement. Fluency in German and/or English is required.
