Research Fellow (Synthetic Organic Chemistry)

The Chiba’s group at CCEB is seeking to hire a Research Fellow to facilitate research in the development of new organic photocatalysts that enable sustainable molecular transformations for the synthesis of complex molecules. Key purposes: The candidate will be expected: • to be engaged in the design and synthesis of new organo photocatalysts • to be engaged in the investigation of detailed reaction mechanisms • to be engaged in the development of new photocatalytic molecular transformations Key Responsibilities: • Daily experiments and analyses of the data obtained from them • To oversee the project team to advance the project • To submit weekly reports on the experimental results  • To give an oral presentation in group meeting • To summarize the project as the papers (one or two / year) • To assist planning and elaboration of the future funding proposals Job Requirements: • PhD in Synthetic Organic Chemistry. • At least 5 years’ experiences in synthetic organic chemistry as graduate and/or postdoctoral fellow level in advanced institutions. • Analytical skills in NMR, mass spec, IR, UV-vis, potentiostat, etc. • Skills in handling of air-sensitive materials and transient species in synthetic photochemistry. We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
