Job Description
The Swee lab is looking for a post-doctoral candidate who will work with Associate Prof. Tan Swee Ching on the water-energy nexus, including interfacial solar desalination and atmospheric water harvesting.
Although our earth is filled with large amounts of water, only 0.3% of them is portable water. Water scarcity and imbalance in water distribution become more and more severe recently. To alleviate water shortage and imbalance distribution, we pay attention to ubiquitous moisture and seawater. For coastal areas, converting seawater into potable water is a promising approach and solar desalination techniques could simultaneously reduce energy consumption. For inland areas, harvesting water directly from the air, especially in water-starved communities with less access to sanitation plants and water resources, could be a promising strategy.
The candidate will work with Prof. Tan and the whole team to design and fabricate materials, structures of solar evaporators and moisture sorbents, and their corresponding devices to improve the overall portable water collection. The candidate may also be advised to help Prof. Tan supervise Ph.D., master, or undergraduate students on their projects.
Interested candidates please contact Prof. Tan Swee Ching at [email protected] .
Please provide a CV and the contact of three referees.
Qualifications
• Candidates must uphold values of scientific integrity, honesty, teamwork, and pride in their work.
• Ph.D. in Materials Science Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or other related field.
• Skilled in materials synthesis and characterization with fluent English writing.
• Previous experience in solar-water-energy nexus is preferred.
