A fully funded postdoctoral position is available in the group of Professor Jochen Niemeyer at Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany. This opportunity is specifically targeted at talented researchers from Japan, with a strong encouragement for female scientists to apply. The research focus is on Organic and Supramolecular Chemistry, particularly involving interlocked molecules, offering an exciting environment for those passionate about these fields.

The position is supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Postdoc fellowship (24 months) through the Henriette Herz Programme, which allows for a streamlined nomination process by the supervisor, bypassing the usual lengthy application procedures. Successful candidates can expect the fellowship to be awarded within 4-8 weeks after nomination, provided they meet the formal criteria: a PhD obtained no longer than 4 years ago, no previous research stays in Germany, no German nationality, and no prior applications to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

The Henriette Herz Programme aims to increase diversity by seeking postdocs from countries underrepresented in the Humboldt Postdoc fellowships, with this call focusing on Japanese researchers. The group values diversity and encourages female researchers to apply. The research environment at Universität Duisburg-Essen is collaborative and innovative, providing excellent opportunities for professional growth in organic and supramolecular chemistry.

To apply, interested candidates should send a cover letter and CV directly to Professor Jochen Niemeyer at [email protected]. For more information, applicants can refer to the provided LinkedIn profiles and group updates.
