Postdoc in the field of Chemical Engineering at the Stanford University
Faculty mentor: Thomas Jaramillo
Stanford Departments and Centers: Chemical Engineering
Appointment Term: One year with opportunity for renewal based on performance and funding availability.
The Jaramillo Laboratory and the SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis are seeking a postdoctoral scholar to work in the area of experimental electrocatalysis and photo-electrocatalysis.
The group is seeking a candidate to help promote SUNCAT efforts to synthesize and evaluate electrocatalysts, semiconductors, and photoelectrodes. The laboratory is interested in a broad range of electrochemical reactions in the context of our mission to enable sustainable fuel and material production; we aim to not only synthesize new catalysts but also to understand and identify characteristics of the interfacial microenvironment that govern both catalyst activity and durability.
Required Qualifications:
Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science or a related field is required prior to appointment for this position.
The following qualifications will be considered when evaluating the candidates:
- Experience in synthesizing and characterizing electrocatalysts, including via electrochemical and spectroscopic methods (e. XPS, XRD, FT-IR, Raman, etc.)
- Experience characterizing product distributions via a range of techniques (GC, NMR, HPLC, etc.)
- Experience with nanofabrication and clean room techniques, especially for solar energy conversion devices
- Experience working at synchrotron and advanced beamline facilities
- A desire to work as part of a larger team and the ability to contribute to multiple projects simultaneously
- Competency in English (Oral and written)
Application Procedure
Required Application Materials:
- A cover letter describing your interest in the position and your relevant qualifications
- An updated curriculum vitae, including a list of publications
- Contact information for 2-3 references
How to Submit Application Materials:
Please submit applications concurrently to Prof. Thomas Jaramillo (jaramillo@stanford.edu, Dr. Adam Nielander (anieland@stanford.edu), and Dr. Michaela Burke Stevens (mburkes@stanford.edu).
