Prospective Co-Workers
Postdoctoral Associates
At this time no funded postdoctoral positions are available.
Applications for prospective postdoctoral associates may be submitted to Prof. Mohr by paper mail (preferred) or email.
Applicants must complete studies for a Ph.D. degree in chemistry by the time of appointment and should have demonstrated experience in laboratory research as well as a track record of scholarly work. Familiarity with enantioselective methods, catalysis, or multi-step synthesis is a plus. Interested individuals should submit a cover letter, a CV including a list of publications, a research summary, and arrange for letters of recommendation to be sent by mail. Please identify potential funding sources, a statement of career goals, and indicate an approximate start date.
