Jens Beckmann (born 1970) is a German-Australian scientist working as professor in the area of synthetic inorganic and organometallic chemistry at the University of Bremen since 2010.

Starting in early 2000, he worked for two years as Feodor Lynen fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation at Deakin University Geelong under the guidance of Prof Dainis Dakternieks.

With his small research group, he investigated functional organotin and organotellurium compounds including polymeric telluroxanes and bimetallic systems capable of absorbing carbon dioxide from air.

At the Institute for Chemistry and Biochemistry, he continued working with his group on heavy p-block element compounds, which included (mixed valent) tellurium halides,[4] and well-defined tellurinic, telluronic and stibonic acids.

2000-2002: Feodor Lynen Scholarship of the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation[2] 2023: Doctor honoris causa from the N. N. Vorozhtsov Novosibrisk Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Science, Siberian Branch.
