Postdoctoral Fellow: Experimental Materials Discovery and Synthesis

Carnegie Science’s Earth and Planets Laboratory invites applications for a postdoctoral position focused on the synthesis and characterization of novel covalent framework materials with emerging structural and functional properties. The research will emphasize the development and optimization of high-pressure and high-temperature synthesis approaches, exploration of new materials and structure types, and characterization of their structural and physical properties.

The successful candidate will work in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment alongside experimental and computational chemists, physicists, and materials scientists, with opportunities to contribute to both fundamental materials discovery and the development of new synthesis strategies. Please refer questions to tstrobel@carnegiescience.

A Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field is required. Desired qualifications include expertise in solid-state chemistry and/or physics, along with experience in structural and physical-property characterization. A strong background in crystal structure determination, particularly single-crystal diffraction methods, is preferred.

Experience with high-pressure experimental techniques, including laser-heated diamond anvil cells and/or large-volume press methods, is also desirable. The successful candidate should be able to work effectively both independently and as part of a collaborative, interdisciplinary research team.

The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility for an additional year pending progress and availability of funds. The position is available immediately and will remain open until filled. Interested parties should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae (including publications), statement of research interests, and contact information for two references.

Only applications submitted through Interfolio will be reviewed. https://apply.interfolio.com/193248
