(1) We seek candidates to tackle outstanding synthetic challenges at the intersection of organic and polymer chemistry. The positions will entail the preparation of novel polymeric materials and related small molecules that are designed to facilitate the realization of new classes of carbon-based materials. The candidate should have deep experience with: (1) a broad range of synthetic methodologies, (2) multi-step syntheses; (3) Schlenk and other air-free techniques, (3) synthetic polymer chemistry, (4) photochemistry, and (5) relevant contemporary characterization and separation techniques including NMR spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermal analyses, gel permeation chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Ideal candidates will also (1) be fluent in English, (2) have multiple years of experience working on projects rooted in synthetic organic and synthetic polymer chemistry, (3) exhibit a strong motivation solve long-standing challenges that are related to the preparation of novel carbons from polymeric precursors, (4) be expected to mentor junior team members, and (5) be listed as a co-author on multiple papers that have been published in top tier, peer-reviewed journals.
(2) We seek candidates for a non-tenure track position that tackles outstanding challenges at the in situ transmission electron microscopy and low-dimensional materials science. The position will entail the in situ synthesis, characterization and application of novel low-dimensional materials and related carbon materials. As such, the candidate should have deep experience with: (1) chemical synthesis of nanomaterials including 0D, 1D and 2D, (2) manipulation of low-dimensional materials, (3) in situ SEM/TEM experiments including gas cell, liquid cell, and mechanical testing. (4) HRTEM/HRSTEM imaging, EELS and EDS, diffraction and TEM/STEM image simulation. Ideal candidates will (1) be fluent in English, (2) have multiple years of experience working, (3) have experience working in publication, (4) exhibit a strong motivation to work on projects rooted in the characterization of new 2D materials and novel carbon materials with TEM, and (5) be expected to mentor junior team members..
▶ Non-tenure track: Not eligible for a tenure review, employment ends with the expiration of the employment contract. Employment term is under maximum five years.

Roughly one-third of all researchers at IBS are from overseas. These international researchers have three support options to adapt to life in Korea. First, IBS supplies a 24/7 service called the Global Help Desk which offers personalized help via email and phone and provides newsletters. Second, IBS created its own support website called Living in Korea with hundreds of pages of contents and hundreds more pictures. Third, every Center has several admin staff who help with a number of work and non-work situations. For more information on these support options, please see the related page on Living in Korea at https://centers.ibs.re.kr/html/living_en/overview/support.html
