Work type: Full-time
Department: Department of Chemistry (25200)
Categories: Senior Research Staff & Post-doctoral Fellow
Applications are invited for appointment as Post-doctoral Fellow in the Department of Chemistry (Ref.: 519564), to commence as soon as possible for one year, renewable subject to satisfactory performance. A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave and medical benefits.
The appointee will work on a Theme-based Research Scheme (TRS) consortium project that aims at increasing the activity and selectivity of energy catalysis and resourcification processes, including but not limited to those involving H2 , O2 , H2 O, CO2 and N2 . The appointee is expected to gain new insights into how small molecules are activated under benign conditions and understand the mechanistic details of the conversion processes using a range of experimental, spectroscopic, and computational methods.
Applicants should possess a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry, Physics or Computational Materials Science, as well as a strong background and experience in molecular synthesis, nanomaterial characterizations, performance assessment, and pathway analysis. The appointee is expected to prepare a variety of novel low-dimensional non-precious metal catalysts as well as characterize them using NMR, IR, Raman, ESI-MS, ICP-MS, SEM, TEM, EDS, XPS, and BET. Knowledge of (a) Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), (b) Polarization Modulation-Infrared Reflection-Adsorption Spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS), (c) Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform IR (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, and (d) microfabrication is a plus, but not required. Applicants should have proficiency in written and spoken English, a strong sense of responsibility, good organizational skills, and ability to work independently. The appointee will work in an interdisciplinary environment co-supervised by Prof. Zheng Xiao Guo and Dr. Edmund C. M. Tse.
The University only accepts online applications for the above post. Applicants should apply online and upload an up-to-date C.V., a cover letter with research experience, and their publication record. They should also send 2 reference letters to Prof. Zheng Xiao Guo and Dr. Edmund C. M. Tse by e-mail: ([email protected] and [email protected] ). Review of applications will commence as soon as possible and continue until 31 Dec 2023, or until the post is filled, whichever is earlier.
