openings
postdoctoral fellow in organo-electrosynthesis
We are looking for talented and motivated postdoctoral research fellows who will conduct research on the electrochemical production of value-added chemicals.
In this role, you will investigate new organo-electrosynthesis reactions and in-depth study using in-situ/operando spectroscopy analysis.
What you will do:
- preparation of electrocatalysts and tuning electrolyte conditions to discover organo-electrosynthesis reactions
- development of organometallic catalysts or redox mediators for chemical synthesis
- in situ ATR-IR and synchrotron X-ray analysis of organo-electrosynthesis.
- development of electrochemical reactors and catalysts for paired electrolysis of CO2 and organic compounds
What is required:
- Ph.D. (within the past 3 years) in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field.
- experience in electrochemistry for the synthesis of organic compounds and related techniques/analysis
- experience in synthesis and utilization of organometallic compounds
(it is OK if you do not have experience in electrochemistry)
Note:
- this is a full-time 1-year postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs.
- these positions are supported by funding from the National Research Foundation (NRF) of Korea and KIST.
- salary will be determined based on your education and careers. (Avg. 50,000 USD/year including tax)
- workplace: 5, Hwarang-ro 14-gil Seongbuk-gu Seoul, 02792 Republic of Korea
