Research Fellow (Synthetic Organic Chemistry)

School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology

(CCEB) is a newly established interdisciplinary joint school under

College of Engineering and College of Science at NTU Singapore. The

Chiba group in CCEB is pursing development of new synthetic routes

that allows for efficient synthesis of biologically active complex

organic molecules of pharmaceutical

interests.

The Chiba group in CCEB is pursing

development of new sustainable molecular transformations driven by

single-electron-transfer. The candidates should possess PhD in

synthetic organic chemistry with more than 5 years experience in

the relevant areas as graduate and / or postdoctoral fellow level in

advanced institutions. The candidates should be capable in

operating various analytical equipment such as NMR, mass spec, IR,

UV-vis, potentiostat, etc. and in handling of air-sensitive

materials and transient species in synthetic

chemistry.
