Postdoctor in China, Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology
Designation/Position- Postdoctor in China
Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Shantou, China invites application forPostdoctor in China from eligible and interested candidates
About- The Chemistry Program (group of Prof. Kai Huang) is looking for 1-2 Research Fellows/Postdoctors (experimentalist) to lead the research activities in surface chemistry, using the state-of-the-art scanning probe microscopy (SPM) apparatus. We aim at the detailed understanding and the control of the behaviors of atoms and molecules at solid surfaces, shedding light on its applications in catalysis, energy, material and health sciences.
Research/Job Area- Chemistry (physical chemistry oriented), Physics (condense matter oriented) or equivalent
The research topics of our current interest are sketched below:
– Surface chemistry of radioactive film materials
– Chemical characteristics at oxide surfaces
– Single-atom catalysis at alloy surfacesKeywords
- Physics and Chemistry at Solid Surfaces
- Novel surface materials for Catalysis, Energy, Material and Health Application
- Scanning Probe Microscopy and Spectroscopy
- First-principles Computations
Location- Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Shantou, China
Eligibility/Qualification–
– PhD degree in Chemistry (physical chemistry oriented), Physics (condense matter oriented) or equivalent (essential)
– Good knowledge and strong interest in surface chemistry (essential)
– Strong experimental capability (essential)
– Experience with cryogenics and high-vacuum facility (preferable)
– Good communication skills, good command of English (essential)
– Ability to work independently as well as in a team environment (essential)
– Ability to author scientific reports and scientific publications (essential)
Job/Position Description- At GTIIT, the Huang laboratory is dedicated to study physics and chemistry at solid surfaces, by ultra-high vacuum SPM (experiment), and followed by first principles computations (theory). Of particular note, our expertise centers at the control of surface dynamics to fabricate, characterize and understand novel surface materials for applications in catalysis, energy, material and health.
