The Advanced Organic Synthesis Research Team at RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science is seeking a postdoctoral researcher. The aim is the development of “next generation synthesis” and its utilization for the creation of functional organic molecules.
About the project:
- The work is on the development of direct and highly selective coupling of organic molecules without prefunctionalization with reactive groups.
- The major interest is also in the development of sustainable catalysis based on Earth-abundant metals.
Qualifications:
- Candidate should be those with a doctoral degree of 5 years or less.
- Candidate should have a strong background and experimental skills in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Organometallic Chemistry, and catalysis, and should be strongly motivated and creative.
- Experience with synthesis of conjugated functional molecules is a plus.
- English will be used for research discussions.
Duration: one year fixed-term employment, renewable based on evaluation, to a maximum of the end of the fiscal year (March 31) in which the employee completes 5 years of employment.
Applications:
- Complete CV
- List of research achievement and publications (publication list, presentation list, awards and honors, and others)
- Previous research and future research plan (A4, 3 pages)
- Certificate of graduation of the most recent education, or a copy of Diploma
- One Letter of recommendation from the current supervisor
- A work/research reference who can be contacted for an opinion
- Consent form for handling personal information based on GDPR
- Send all documents to csrs-ilies-recruit@ml.riken.jp
