Today, NSF announced an add’l 500 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program awardees for the 2025-2026 cohort, bringing the total to approx 1,500. #NSFGRFP supports grad students as they pursue their dreams, build STEM skills, & become the next generation of innovators & leaders.

Fully funded postdoc position available at beautiful Okinawa 🪸🐠 Starting September, 2025 or earlier or later 🗓️ If you're interested in organometallic chemistry and catalysis, please contact me 📨 oist.jp/careers/postdo…

Our first paper in the battery space is now online @ACS_AMI🔋This study was led by Simon Gersib, who discovered that a certain Mo2 paddlewheel complex has beneficial effects on the Li metal SEI. Thanks to @GlusacGroup, Matt Li, and other collaborators!! doi.org/10.1021/acsami…

Check out our Perspective on Al(II) chemistry in @JACS_Au led by @roushanpsingh. Thanks to the editors for inviting us to participate in their special issue on sustainable small molecule activation! doi.org/10.1021/jacsau…

💔2 hrs ago... was notified that my current NSF grant focusing on the Synthesis of Stimuli-Responsive Materials for emergent energy technologies was terminated without any explanation. What did I do wrong? Always thankful to my students @Shustovalab @UofSC_Chem

Check out our latest with Mo-catalyzed oxidation reactions. Loving the new Flash Comm format at @Orgmet_ACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

In this period of uncertainty, the University will fund research that is subject to stop-work orders or the federal funding freeze, President Schill and Board of Trustees Chair Peter Barris announced today. ▶️ spr.ly/60152zZAv

Check out our last work with S. Bontemps just accepted in @DaltonTrans on the σ-BH activation of NHC→BH3 fragments at dinuclear Cu complexes pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We are hiring a postdoc (or similar) with experience in molecular and cellular neurobiology and neurodegenerative disease models (cellular and animal). Appreciation for MS-based proteomics and lipidomics a must. Interested applicants can email CV to Stephanie. No DMs, please RT

Congrats @andy_i_nguyen and Mike!!!

Our latest Al-Fe research is published in @J_A_C_S. Led by my student Roushan @ChemistryatUIC and our collaboration with Dan Ess of BYU, we are starting to map the chemistry of Al(II) through this mild approach! doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5…

Our new paper on simple synthesis of planar-chiral ruthenium catalysts. We still need to optimize aryl substituent for good enantioselectivity. Thanks to editor and referees of Dalton Transactions for thoughtful and fast reviewing process (only 12 days!). pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We keep hiring: 1-3 year POSTDOC to develop Bimetallic Chemistry for CO2, N2O and NH3 activation under ERC Consolidator Grant BiMetalGAS @ERC_Research Expected start: June-October 2025. Please RT. #Postdoc #chemjob Cool bimetallics in sunny🌞Sevilla

Our lab currently has an open post-doc position for metallopeptide design. This research leverages peptide frameworks to design, synthesize, and characterize mimics and replicas of metalloenzyme active sites. Learn more about our research: ainguyenlab.com/research
