  2. Advanced spectroscopic measurements (IR and Raman) during in situ electrocatalysis.
  3. Synchrotron X-ray experiments during in situ electrocatalysis.
  4. Write code (Python or similar) to analyze large data sets of spectroscopic and X-ray data. Statistically analyze data for goodness of fit to models from computational collaborators.
  5. Electrode fabrication (electro)chemical deposition, sputtering, e-beam evaporation, etc.) and characterization (SEM, XPS, XRD, AFM, UV-vis, etc.)
  6. Design (CAD) and construction of novel electrochemical reactors to enable in situ experiments.
Job Description70% - Conduct fundamental research on (photo)electrochemical conversion of small molecules.

20% - Actively engage in interdisciplinary collaborations, communicating frequently with research groups and researchers at academic institutions and national labs. Provide mentoring for graduate and undergraduate students, and other postdoctoral researchers as needed.

5% - Publish and report the results of CEBC research at professional meetings and assist CEBC and KU in securing intellectual property rights on inventions.

5% - Participate in professional development and educational outreach programs of CEBC (e.g., safety, recruiting, procurement, diversity, seminars, committees, etc.)
Position RequirementsWork location statements - This position is required to work on-site. Required Qualifications
  1. PhD in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or closely related discipline.Six months experience with strong research history in a field or fields related to the aforementioned research areas.Three months experience writing code (Python or similar) to analyze large data sets. Analysis may include processing raw data (background subtraction, normalization, filtering, etc.), curve fitting, and statistical analysis. Include a description in the cover letter.Demonstrated effective written communication skills, as evidenced through application materials.Demonstrated work history as a member of a research team, as evidenced through application materials.
