Research Fellow (Chemistry)

School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB) is an interdisciplinary joint school under College of Engineering and College of Science at NTU Singapore

The Nicewicz group at CCEB is seeking to hire a Research Fellow to facilitate research in the development of novel and broadly useful sustainable molecular transformations for the synthesis of complex molecules using single electron redox processes.

• →Design, develop, and optimize novel organic transformations and synthetic methodologies based on single-electron redox processes.
• →Conduct photochemical and radiochemical reaction development, including reaction screening, optimization, and scope studies.
• →Investigate reaction mechanisms through experimental design, data analysis, and interpretation of results.
• →Supervise and mentor graduate and undergraduate researchers, providing guidance on research activities and laboratory techniques.
• →Present research findings at group meetings, seminars, and scientific conferences.
• →Prepare research reports, manuscripts for publication, and other scholarly outputs.
• →Contribute to the preparation of grant proposals and future research funding applications.
• →Maintain accurate research records and ensure compliance with laboratory safety and regulatory requirements.

• PhD degree in Chemistry or related field
• Demonstrated expertise in synthetic organic chemistry and hands-on experience in reaction development.
• Experience in photochemistry, photocatalysis, radiochemistry, or mechanistic studies would be an advantage.
• Strong written and oral communication skills, with the ability to effectively present scientific data and research findings.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary research environment.
• Experience in mentoring or supervising students and junior researchers would be advantageous.
• Strong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet project timelines.
• Meticulous, proactive, and capable of developing solutions to complex research challenges.
• A strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals is desirable.
• Entry level candidates with relevant research experience are welcome to apply.
