Meet the Team
Postdoctoral Scholars
The Elacqua Group welcomes postdoctoral applications at any time, but we are especially interested in candidates trained in organic synthesis, catalysis, polymer chemistry, and/or photoredox chemistry currently.
We anticipate having available positions starting in 2021-2022. More details can be found under positions.
