Hydrogen, as a clean and versatile energy carrier, holds the key to addressing pressing global challenges such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and meeting the growing demand for sustainable energy sources.
Information about the project and research group
The main focus of the project is the synthesis of conjugated polymers/materials, which will be used for hydrogen evolution reactions possibly in combination with other 2D materials. Apart from the focus, the synthesized materials could be also used for organic solar cells, supercapacitors and organic batteries. Research experience in the related fields is highly appreciated.
The research group "Polymer Chemistry and Electronics" leading by Professor Ergang Wang at the Department of Chemistry and Chemcial Engineering has a focus on the synthesis and characterization of conjugated materials and 2D materials for applications in organic solar cells, organic field effect transistors (OFETs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), photocatalytic water splitting and supercapacitors. We strive to be a "collaborative, creative and dynamic" group. Academic freedom, interdisciplinary research, entrepreneurship and making societal impact, are key factors in our work. We strive to offer an environment where you can combine world leading research and teaching with a good work-life balance.
Major responsibilities
Your major responsibility as a postdoc is to perform your own research in a research group and high quality scientific results are expected. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large. The position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry/the public sector. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing in English.
Qualifications
To be qualified for the position of postdoc, you must have a doctoral degree or equivalent in Chemistry or Material Science or a relevant field. Your PhD degree should be obtained after 2020-10-30 (less than 3 years by the application deadline) to be eligible for this position. You can also apply if you will obtain your PhD degree in the coming months.
You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.
Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years.
