We are a synthetic group focusing on radical chemistry in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, supported by the “1000 Youth Talents Plan”. Our research interests include synthetic methodology developments, polymer chemistry, and medicinal chemistry. 

We are now hiring postdoctoral fellows and research assistants. Multiple openings are available for each category, candidates with research experience in radical chemistry, transition-metal catalysis, photocatalysis, and electrocatalysis are preferred but not required. Highly motivated individuals with strong passion for science are welcome to apply. Master Students and visiting students are also welcome to apply.

Please send your CV and research summary to juntaoye@sjtu.edu.cn.

Our Motto:

A lot of people think that to be good means that you have to be talented. But what really makes you stand out is dedication. Having unique advantages is important, but more often than not, excellence is the result of consistent effort, day in and day out.
