Department Information: The Department of Chemistry consists of a wellrounded research community with cuttingedge expertise in a wide variety of modern disciplines including analytical chemistry organic chemistry inorganic chemistry physical chemistry materials chemistry and biochemistry. Job Summary: The Goicoechea Lab in the Department of Chemistry at Indiana University is accepting applications for a postdoctoral research position. The position offers the opportunity to explore the chemistry of metal complexes of the cyaphide ligand with a particular focus on using such complexes in crosscoupling reactions (for previous work see: J. Am. Chem. Soc.; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2022 61 e. The expected start date is June 1 2023 although a delayed start will be taken into consideration for suitable applicants. The successful applicant will use a deep understanding of organometallic chemistry combined with stateoftheart analytical methods to develop new chemical transformations. Motivated applicants with a Ph.D. in any area of chemistry will be considered. A candidate with a strong background in solutionphase synthetic inorganic chemistry capable of manipulating air and moisturesensitive chemicals is ideally suited for the project. We seek to employ someone with demonstrable experience in single crystal Xray diffraction and/or multielement NMR spectroscopy. The Goicoechea Lab is a dynamic multidisciplinary laboratory environment. The successful applicant will play an integral role within our growing team and will emerge with a skill set that is equally relevant to academia and industry. Trainees receive regular guidance and feedback to ensure progress is made toward their career goals whatever those may be. Trainees are also afforded the scheduling flexibility needed to maintain an appropriate work life balance and a safe laboratory environment in light of the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic.

Adapt existing and develop new scientific techniques and experimental protocols to achieve research objectives. 3. Use specialist scientific equipment in a laboratory environment. 3. Assist in setting up a new research laboratory at IU (e.g. setting up Schlenk lines ordering equipment etc. 4. Contribute ideas for new research projects. 5. Undertake comprehensive and systematic literature reviews and write up the results for publication in peerreviewed journals. 6. Collaborate in the preparation of scientific reports and journal articles and occasionally present papers and posters. 8. Act as a source of information and advice to other members of the group on scientific protocols and experimental techniques. 9. Represent the research group at external meetings/seminars either with other members of the group or alone. 10. Carry out collaborative projects with colleagues in partner institutions and research groups.
