Description
We are seeking talented postdoctoral researchers with expertise in MXene-based device development, bridging materials innovation with practical device engineering. The project focuses on next-generation MXene devices related to the following research directions: design and synthesis of new MXene chemistries, advanced liquid-crystal-enabled alignment/orientation strategies for MXenes, and construction of application-targeted MXene devices with translational potential.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead independent research on MXene-based device development, connecting materials design, scalable processing, and device-level engineering.
- Establish reproducible workflows for MXene synthesis/processing, assembly, device fabrication, and performance benchmarking.
- Perform rigorous materials–structure–property–device correlation using electrochemical/physical testing and advanced characterization.
- Maintain high standards in lab safety, documentation, data management, and timely reporting.
- Publish high-impact papers, present at conferences, contribute to proposals where appropriate, and mentor students.
Compensation Package
- Competitive, tax‑free salary
- Free on-campus housing
- 22 days of annual vacation
- Additional benefits
Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Strong background in MXene research and/or 2D materials, demonstrated by peer‑reviewed publications.
- Hands‑on experience in at least one of the following: (i) MXene synthesis & processing, (ii) colloids/liquid crystals and alignment/oriented assembly, (iii) MXene device fabrication and testing, or (iv) scalable environmental‑related applications (e.g., seawater-related).
- Proficiency with materials characterization and performance evaluation (e.g., SEM/TEM, XRD, XPS, Raman/FTIR, electrical conductivity measurements, electrochemical testing as applicable).
- Strong communication, teamwork, and problem‑solving skills.
