The chemist receives Maria-Reiche funding of TU Dresden The chemist Dr. Maria Roslova receives an eighteen-month full scholarship of the Maria-Reiche program of TU Dresden. By this, the young Russian is one of the three outstanding young scientists at TU Dresden, who receives the support for their academical career through this program. From 1 January Dr. Maria Roslova starts her full scholarship at the professorship for inorganic chemistry II. The funding period extends for 18 months with the option of the prolongation to 6 more months in case of positive evaluation. In this period she wants to work on the application of her third-party fund project titled „Microwave-assisted polyol synthesis: towards ternary compounds.“ Dr. Maria Roslova obtained a doctorate from 2010 to 2014 at the Lomonosov-Universität Moskau on the subject “Synthesis, crystal structure and properties of oxygen-free superconducting layered iron pnictides and chalcogenides.“ Consequently, the young chemist was in the research group of Prof. Ruck at TU Dresden (The Chair of Inorganic Chemistry II) as a postdoctoral fellow, where she developed the interest towards the topic of microwave-assisted synthesis. The objective of Maria-Reiche program is to support the young female scientists at TU Dresden on their way towards their scientific career up to professorship and to increase the proportion of women amongst research staff. It is directed towards those, who recently earned doctorates and pursuing a habilitation as well. In the course of this especially women with the family duties and women, who wants to resume their scientific career after the completing the period of non-university employment are supported. The funding program is assigned once per year within the university. The selection committee manages the applications in the form of a two-stage procedure.
