Postdoc Position: Electrochemical Energy Storage and Electrocatalysis
General description
The Liu group at Utah State University has an immediate opening for postdoc researcher to conduct research on electrochemical energy conversion including energy storage (rechargeable batteries) and electrocatalysis. The primary roles of the successful candidate include synthesis and characterization of novel battery materials, and device tests of new energy storage technologies beyond Li ion batteries aiming for diverse applications including electric vehicles, integration of renewable energy (solar and wind), large-scale energy storage, and others. The postdoc researcher will also prepare manuscripts and technic reports for publication and patent application, and involve lab management. The team supports the successful candidate to present work at national/international conferences, and provides other visibility and training opportunities for career development. The postdoc researcher will be guided by the team PI, but highly encouraged to work autonomously and creatively as much as possible.
Applicants should submit curriculum vitae, copies of transcripts, names and contacts of three references in a single pdf file. A statement of research experience and career objective is preferred. The appointment is full-time with a full benefits package. Proposed start date is as early as December 15th, 2023. Invitations for interview will be notified after reviewing application materials.
Preferred qualifications
Applicants must receive a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Material Science or related majors from an accredited university or research institute. Applicants need to have knowledge and experience in material synthesis (organic and/or inorganic synthesis). Knowledge in electrochemistry, research experience related to energy storage or energy conversion, and skills in microscopy measurement are preferred. Good written and oral communication skills in English and an ability to perform teamwork are required.
Postdoc Position: Organic and Organometallic Synthesis
The Liu group (www.tianbiaoliu.org) at Utah State University has an immediate opening for postdoc researcher to conduct research on organic and organometallic synthesis and applications of designed molecules for electrocatalysis and energy storage materials.

The team supports the successful candidate to present work at conferences and provides other visibility and training opportunities for career development. The postdoc researcher will be guided by the team PI, but highly encouraged to work autonomously and creatively as much as possible.
Applicants should submit curriculum vitae and names and contacts of three references in a single pdf file. A statement of research experience and career objective is preferred. The appointment is full-time with a full benefits package. Proposed start date is as early as November 15th, 2023. Invitations for interview will be notified after reviewing application materials. Incomplete application will not be considered. The appointment is a full-time position and can be renewal annually up to three years. Invitations for Zoom interview and request for reference letters will be notified after reviewing application materials.
Preferred Qualifications
Applicants must receive a Ph.D. in Chemistry with experience in organic and organometallic synthesis from an accredited university or research institute. Applicants need to have knowledge and experience in chemical synthesis (organic and/or inorganic synthesis) and homogenous catalysis, and skills in solution characterizations (NMR, and EPR, IR, and UV). Knowledge in electrochemistry is a plus. Good written and oral communication skills in English and an ability to perform teamwork are required.
