*** POSTDOC ALERT ***
We have 2-year postdoctoral positions starting in spring 2026, 2027 or 2028 in our group at Johannes Gutenberg University financed by Alexander von Humboldt foundation in the field of Molecular Inorganic Photochemistry.
Prerequisites are the following: up to 4 years after PhD, non-German, no BSc/MSc/PhD degrees in Germany, no other or previous applications at Alexander von Humboldt foundation.
Female applicants and applicants with diverse backgrounds are particularly welcome.
We are seeking team members with a strong synthetic background and ideally some experience in molecular photophysics, photochemistry or spectroscopy. In our group, we have access to well-equipped synthetic labs, static and time-resolved emission spectroscopy as well as transient absorption spectroscopy in addition to (spectro)electrochemistry, vibrational spectroscopy and high-performance computing facilities.
Please apply with the usual documents (CV, publication list, up to three key publications, motivation letter, short proposal for the 2-year project, PhD certificate, English language certificate (if applicable), recommendation letter (optional)) until August, 31th 2025 (application round for first postdoc position starting in spring 2026). Please [email to Katja Heinze].

Our group engages heavily in designing, synthesizing and characterizing luminescent and photoactive transition metal complex chromophores for diverse applications (photocatalysis, sensing, upconversion, light-emitting electrochemical cells, dye-sensitized solar cells) preferably using Earth-abundant sustainable elements, unusual oxidation states, fundamentals of electron/proton transfer reactions, photosynthesis and bioinorganic/biomimetic chemistry.
For more details please check our recent publications and our group meetings.
If you are intested to join our group, please contact Prof. Dr. Katja Heinze or the group members.
Modul-, Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten
sind in den Gebieten Koordinationschemie, Photochemie, Photokatalyse und Bioanorganische/biomimetische Chemie möglich. Arbeiten können Ligandsynthese (organische Chemie), Komplexsynthese (Koordinationschemie), Spektroskopie und quantenchemische Modellierung in unterschiedlich ausgeprägtem Umfang beeinhalten. Bitte informieren Sie sich über konkrete aktuelle Themen anhand unserer aktuellen Publikationen, schnuppern Sie unverbindlich in unser AK Seminar oder kontaktieren Sie die wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiter.
