Postdoctoral Fellow position (Mita group) (Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery, Hokkaido University)

[Explanation of institution]
The Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery (ICReDD), Hokkaido University, as a global research center based on the “World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI),"constructs an international research environment which gathers world-leading researchers and establishes a research environment that integrates computational, information and experimental sciences, in order to establish a new academic field “Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery", to provide substantial knowledge on chemical reactions that efficiently develop chemical reactions and materials for the future necessity, and to sustainably cultivate human resources engaged in the field of “Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery".

We are inviting applications for the position of Postdoctoral Fellow, Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery, Hokkaido University as follows.

[Research Field]
Synthetic organic chemistry (development of new chemical reactions), Computational chemistry

[Job Description]
The successful candidate will propose ideas of new chemical reactions from the viewpoint of organic chemistry and will design new reactions and catalysts by collaboration with computational scientists in ICReDD. In addition, predicted new reactions will be experimentally validated. Basic knowledge of quantum chemical calculations and high experimental skills for organic chemistry (transition-metal-catalyzed and organocatalytic transformations etc.) are required.
