Applications from highly motivated students to join the group for visiting scholars, Postdoc, PhD, msater, bachelor and  research assistant thesis in the topics of our interests (asymmetric photocatalyzed reactions, chiral catalyst development, rare earth catalysis, etc.) are welcome. Every year, the research group has enough enrollment indicators for doctoral and master's students and key postdoctoral funding indicators of the university. Please submit a Curriculum Vitae and a short research summary to Prof. Chen at caiyou@whu.edu.cn.

Research intertest:

The Chen group is focusing on earth abundant and rare earth metal catalysis, with an emphasis on novel catalyst development directed asymmetric transformations (with/out light irradiation). We are aimed at developing efficient transformations with a goal of synthesizing pharmaceutical and bioactive molecules. Our research interests also include the in-depth investigation of the reaction mechanisms via DFT calculation, EPR, kinetics, UV-Vis, CV, time resolved spectroscopy, et. al.

Beneficial revenue:

1. Postdoc

The Postdoc benefits are assessed according to candidate’s research background and research plan, with an annual salary of 260,000-400,000 yuan, especially excellent benefits can be further negotiated, and enjoy post-doctoral benefits of Wuhan University (post-doctoral apartments, public health care, children's enrollment, housing provident fund, etc.). You can apply for Wuhan University's "Excellent Postdoctoral Program" (annual salary: 400,000 yuan), "Key post-doctoral funding Program" (there are two places in the research group) and the national level postdoctoral innovative talent support program.
