Postdoctoral Research Associate

Job description

The Chemistry Division (http://www.bnl.gov/chemistry) of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL, http://www.bnl.gov) seeks postdoctoral Research Associates to join the DOE-funded Center for Hybrid Approaches in Solar Energy to Liquid Fuels (CHASE), a Fuels from Sunlight Center led by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). In addition to BNL, CHASE includes collaborators at Princeton University, North Carolina State University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University. Initial 2-year term appointment subject to renewal contingent on performance and funding. POSITION DESCRIPTION: The successful candidate will conduct basic research as part of the CHASE team with a specific focus on (i) efficient coupling of semiconductor light absorption to molecular catalysis; (ii) the control of molecular catalysis by tuning of the microenvironment at the interface; and (iii) coupling of multiple molecular catalysts through cascade catalysis to generate liquid fuels from carbon dioxide. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with a team of scientists from the AP group and other CHASE institutions. POSITION REQUIREMENTS: Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:...
