Jeddah, Saudi Arabia KAUST Full time

Postdoctoral Fellow in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics- King Abdullah University of Science and Technology: Postdoc Positions: Biological and Environmental Science and Engineering Division (postdoc)**Location**:

- Thuwal, Saudi Arabia**Open Date**:

- Sep 30, 2021**Description**:
**Project**: Experimental investigation of nano-confined liquids: surface forces, optical and dielectric properties.

**Description**: Water is often found to be confined in micro, nano, and sub-nano scale spaces in numerous natural and applied contexts, such as cells, soils, and emulsions. How water’s dielectric behavior varies with the confinement, the chemical make-up of the surfaces (e.g., hydrophobic, hydrophilic, superhydrophilic, and electrically charged) remains unexplored? To answer these simple but profound questions, with ramifications across physical sciences and engineering, we are developing and utilizing advanced surface science platforms. In particular, we are adapting a Surface Force Apparatus (SFA), a JPK Nanowizard AFM and utilizing theory and computational simulation to interpret our experimental results. This research lies at the intersection of physics, chemistry, and engineering.

**Physicists, electrical engineers, chemical engineers, analytical chemists are encouraged to apply.**

Terrific opportunities to collaborate with experimentalists and theorists in our Group, at KAUST, and our external collaborators.
