A computational chemist has moved from being group leader at a German research institute to an associate computational chemistry prof in the UK
Ukrainian native Anya Gryn’ova was a junior group leader at Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) in Germany during the pandemic and now is an associate professor of computational chemistry at the University of Birmingham in the UK. Her group’s research wasn’t much disrupted by Covid-19 since it involved theoretical chemistry that could be done remotely on supercomputers, but her job at HITS was a temporary one. So, in 2023 Gryn’ova began looking for a permanent position elsewhere and landed at Birmingham in April 2024.
