Join the Team
A Greener Globe: Working Together for a Clean Planet.
What we offer:
Our joint mission is "Unfold the sustainability impact of green chemistry" because we understand that creating a sustainable future requires materials based on regenerative and non-fossil resources that are non-toxic and recyclable. Currently, the resource base of the German chemical industry — the third-largest in the world with over €200 billion in revenue — is 87% dependent on fossil resources and follows a linear "use and dispose" logic. Changing this is a significant shift and requires entirely new ways of teaching, inventing, and practicing chemistry. To achieve such a transformation, the application of the 12 principles of Green Chemistry is just as important as focusing on innovation, such as technology transfer and startups.
For you, this means the "why" question is answered. You will work at the intersection of business and science with the goal of bringing technologies to market that will transform the current situation toward sustainability and actively shape the so-called "chemical transition," i.e., reshaping one of the most important industries in the world.
We are a team: "We lose together, and we win together" is our reality. We always support each other and care for one another. Through this, we grow both personally and professionally as well as a team. This also means that ideas and content are always more important than hierarchies or past achievements.
For you, this means you are entering a secure and honest space where you will receive appreciative feedback, and your ideas and enthusiasm will be celebrated and encouraged.
We are flexible and results-oriented: We offer flexible working hours and integration into a highly motivated and interdisciplinary team. Personal development is seen as key to achieving future results.
For you, this means you will have endless opportunities to grow as an individual. You will be supported regarding your individual goals and aspirations, as everyone is the "secret sauce" on the path to sustainability transformation.
We are in Berlin: The vibrant and liberal attitude, along with the quality of life in Germany's capital, attracts talent from all over the world. The established startup scene is currently developing into a global Green Chemistry hotspot, at the center of which are excellent research institutes and the above-mentioned institutions.
For you, this means perfect timing. The potential is not yet fully realized, but it is clear that it will unfold, making future success almost a given — and also hard work. But what could be more satisfying than seeing the fruits of your labor grow and succeed?
Research Associate (PostDoc)
The TIM Research Group at Technische Universität Berlin is seeking applications for a postdoc position!
Be part of a research project on the success factors of deep-tech transfer initiatives from universities with focus on green chemistry. The project analyzes early innovation phases, uncertainties, and effective support measures for high-tech transfer projects. A particular emphasis is placed on embedding these initiatives within greenCHEM as a innovation ecosystem within the Berlin University Alliance. The responsibilities include conducting empirical research in the field of transfer and innovation studies with a behavioral science focus, as well as closely collaborating with the transfer center and greenCHEM to optimize support measures for innovative transfer initiatives.
We’re eager to find someone who shares our passion for sustainable innovation and is ready to make a meaningful impact at TU Berlin!
