Advice for finding an organic synthesis postdoc in Europe with a U.S. PhD?

I’m completing my PhD in organic chemistry at the University of Vermont. My research spans target-oriented synthesis and methodology development, particularly the synthesis and Diels–Alder chemistry of 2-N-acylamino-1,3-dienes.

For those who have made a similar move:

  • Is it better to apply to advertised positions or contact PIs directly?
  • How far in advance should I approach groups?
  • Which countries are generally most accessible for an Indian applicant with an American PhD?

P.S.: I speak both French (C1) and German (B2)
