Lemont, United States UChicago Argonne Full time

The Solar Energy Conversion Group in the Chemical Sciences and Engineering division is seeking applicants for post-doctoral associate positions in the areas of: synthesis of molecular photosensitizers and catalysts, electro- and photochemical analysis of molecular complexes and thin films, analysis of catalytic mechanisms, and high-energy X-ray scattering characterization methods of molecular assemblies and thin films.

This work will support fundamental research programs aimed at understanding the molecular structure factors underpinning effective visible light absorption, photoinduced electron transfer, and multi-electron catalytic activity of newly discovered molecular modules.

Characterization of light- and redox-driven reaction pathways and structural dynamics in these new molecular materials will be accomplished by steady-state and time-resolved optical absorbance spectroscopy, electrochemical methods, and X-ray scattering and spectroscopy analyses at the Advanced Photon Source.

Position Requirements

  • This level of knowledge is typically achieved through a formal education in inorganic chemistry and/or physical chemistry or related disciplines at the Ph.D. degree level with 0 to 5 years of experience or equivalent in the scientific application of this knowledge and practical laboratory experience

  • Knowledge of and experimental expertise in multistep, air-sensitive organic/inorganic syntheses, purification techniques, and standard characterization methods; OR expertise in X-ray scattering methods

  • Demonstrated experience in synthesis and characterization of transition-metal coordination complexes, new ligand structures, and/or thin film architectures by scientific publications in relevant journals is desired

  • Good interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills, data processing, evaluation, and interpretation

  • Good skill in working in an interdisciplinary research team setting

  • Some knowledge of and experimental expertise in one or more of the following techniques is a plus:  absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy, electrochemistry, transient optical spectroscopy, X-ray scattering, X-ray absorption spectroscopy
