纽约大学阿布扎比分校化学方向博士后职位

A postdoctoral position in Porous Materials and Polymers is available at New York University Abu Dhabi.

New York University has established itself as a Global Network University, a multi-site, organically connected network encompassing key global cities and idea capitals. The network has three foundational degree-granting campuses: New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai, complemented by a network of eleven research and study-away sites across five continents. Faculty and students circulate within this global network in pursuit of common research interests and the promotion of cross-cultural and interdisciplinary solutions for problems both local and global.

Entering its fifth year, NYU Abu Dhabi has recruited a cohort of faculty who are distinguished in their research and teaching. Its students are drawn from around the world and surpass all traditional recruitment benchmarks, both US and global. NYU Abu Dhabi’s highly selective liberal arts enterprise is complemented by an institute for advanced research, sponsoring cutting-edge projects across the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences, and Engineering.

Candidates must hold a PhD in chemistry and will work on synthesis and characterization of organic ligands and their relative porous compounds. The aim of the project is to prepare and study new porous materials with functional properties in adsorption and catalysis. Synthesis of such materials will include the use of solvothermal and Schlenk line techniques. The most common methods of characterization will be X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, surface area characterization, and additional techniques related to the specific function of the material. Candidates with relevant background in one or more of these tasks will be considered. A strong background in organic/inorganic and materials chemistry is a pre-requisite for being eligible for the position.

Excellent communication skills in English, ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams, and scientific creativity are essential.
