The group was founded in April 2023 and we are intensively working at the interface of main group and early transition metal chemistry with synthesis in its heart and a strong focus on unusual electronic structures, small molecule activation, ligand design and homogeneous catalysis.

Applications are more than welcome and multiple positions at nearly all levels are available (B.Sc / M.Sc. theses, research internships) which are just waiting to be filled. We currently do not have funding for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. If you are still interested in joining the group we can discuss potential funding bodies for a PhD and Postdoc scholarships as well as potential research topics. Please include a CV with a short description of your PhD project, the name of a possible funding agency and two reference letters in your email. As an Alexander von Humboldt fellow, I can for example support applications to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

Start benefitting from a small enthusiastic research group (direct supervision, daily discussion of results, etc.) and learn a toolbox of inorganic and organic synthetic techniques under inert conditions, multiple methods for characterizing your newly synthesized compounds (NMR, SCXRD, CV, EPR, IR, quantum chemical calculations, …) and use this knowledge to enter previously unknown territories in molecular main group and metalorganic chemistry!

We are very much looking forward to hear from you!
