[3] After completing his Ph.D., Meijer spent a year as a post-doc at the IBM Research Center in San Jose, California, where he worked in the group of Mattanjah de Vries[1] on laser desorption mass spectrometry and optical spectroscopy, as well as fullerene.
In 1995, Meijer was appointed as a Full Professor in Experimental Physics at Radboud University, where he continued his research on laser-based spectroscopic techniques and cold molecules.
In 2002, he was appointed as the Director of the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, Germany, where he continued his research on gas-phase molecular physics, cold molecules, clusters, and biomolecules.
In 2012, Meijer became an External Scientific Member of the Fritz Haber Institute and also took on the role of President of the Executive Board at Radboud University.
[5] Throughout his career, Meijer has received numerous awards and accolades for his contributions to the field of molecular physics, including the van't Hoff Prize from the German Bunsen Society in 2012 and the Bourke Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2009.
