Post-Doc Research Associate

The Guo Lab at UNC Chapel Hill invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate focused on developing polymer materials for applications in energy and environmental sustainability. This position offers the opportunity to engage in groundbreaking research in separation processes using clean energy sources. The candidates should have solid academic background in polymer chemistry, electrochemistry, or material science. The candidate should have direct experience in polymer materials synthesis or separation related applications. The candidates should have evidence of academic excellence, good communication skills, collaborative working attitude, and independent thinking capability.

Launched in 2013, the Department of Applied Physical Sciences ( APS) is the first new science department in the College of Arts and Sciences in nearly 40 years. APS lives in the collaborative space between science and engineering, combining knowledge and discovery with an engineering mindset, team-based science, and entrepreneurship to address real-world problems. Organized around 'Ideas to Impacts,' the department unites with campus themes in health, water and energy to help Carolina continue to be a leader in science innovation and the application of knowledge. APS has united numerous scientific entities on campus to further its mission of finding interdisciplinary solutions to real-world problems. Its newest endeavor, BeAM (Be A Maker), is a university-wide initiative that incorporates Making into research, education, and entrepreneurship. BeAM is comprised of several spaces, including a makerspace in Hanes Art Center, Carmichael Residence Hall, and a 3,400 square foot Makerspace in Murray Hall, all of which serve the entire UNC community.
