| Postdoctoral Research Associate |
ⓐ |
- Metallurgy, Physics, Solid State Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, single crystal metals, single crystal metal foils, Growth and characterization of materials using new types of metal foils |
- Degree: Doctoral Degree
- Major: Metallurgy, materials science, materials physics, solid state chemistry, physical chemistry, physics
- Preference: Doctoral experience in study of single crystal metals, perhaps also in making and studying bimetallic alloys such as at surfaces of single crystal metals. Strong interest to invent new methods to convert metal foils to single crystal metal foils with many options for (hkl) surface orientation, and to synthesize carbon-based and related materials, such as films grown on such metal foils, and to study the basic science of growth and properties of foils and films and materials. Strong capability in materials characterization, including some or all of: X-ray diffraction, AFM/SPM, SEM, EDS, EBSD, TEM, EELS, Raman, IR, and UV-VIS spectroscopies, and others, is highly desired. Please refer to the information below for the detailed required qualifications |
1 |
- ※ We seek candidates for a postdoctoral fellow position to tackle outstanding challenges making a wide variety of single crystal metal foils (Cu, Ni, Co, Pt, Pd, perhaps others) with different surface (hkl) orientations, and using such foils to explore new opportunities for bi and trimetallic alloys (by mixing metals onto surfaces or into the bulk, of such single crystal metal foils). The position also offers the possibility of contributing to fundamental studies of the synthesis of materials such as graphene, graphite, diamanes, diamond, graphdiyne, nanoporous carbon networks, and others. Ability to do structural analysis. Candidates should thus have deep experience with: (1) study of single crystal metals and/or an intense desire to make a wide variety of single crystal (hkl) metal foils for new studies; (2) structural analysis of metals and other materials; (3) analysis and use of phase diagrams; (4) various types of spectroscopies and microscopies and methods to characterize materials. Ideal candidates will (i) be fluent in English, (ii) have recently received a Ph.D., (iii) have experience writing manuscripts, (iv) exhibit a strong motivation to do basic science research in pioneering areas and to delve deeply into fundamental scientific issues, including as exemplified during his/her Ph.D. studies, (v) have experience and also a desire to mentor junior members of the team.
- • Postdoctoral Research Associate: A position to conduct research training and research for a certain period of time to deepen research expertise and abilities.
