Bsc/Msc: Chemical Analysis

Exciting Opportunity in NMR Method Development

Are you good at organic chemistry and method development? Do you already know something about NMR and are you enthusiastic to bring this to the next level? Then read on!

Your assignment

You will develop a chemical method to stabilize the radicals formed by photoinitiators for analysis inside our state-of-the-art analytical equipment. With this method you can then study the process of photoinitiation. This knowledge will greatly help the development of our inks. The analytical technique you will use is Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy. Light-sensitive reactions will be done inside of the NMR so you can directly measure the response of the light.

Your profile

In order to fulfil the assignment, you must have accurate and precise laboratory skills as well as statistical knowledge. Additionally, you:

• are currently studying chemistry at BSc or MSc level in the fields of organic chemistry or analytical chemistry.
• have already learned about NMR spectroscopy at school, and preferably already have some experience with the NMR technique.
• are available for 4 to 7 months for a minimum of 4 days per week, starting preferably in February.

What’s in it for you?

• A challenging assignment with skilled coaching
• Internship/Graduation compensation of €500 per month
• Travel cost compensation if you don’t have an ‘OV-weekcard’
• The possibility to network with professionals inside and outside your field of expertise, thanks to our diversity of disciplines which you will work with
