The Casitas Group

We are a young and dynamic research group that is highly passionate for making discoveries in Chemistry. We are committed to the promotion of gender equality and diversity in scientific disciplines. Currently, we have do not have open funded PhD positions in the group.

If you would like to join our group for bachelor or master thesis, you can contact  Alicia Casitas (casitasm<at>chemie.uni-marburg.de) by email. We are also looking for talented postdoctoral researchers that would like to apply for postdoctoral fellowships (Humboldt, MSCA, Walter Benjamin...).
