TransformationsPostdoctoral Scholar in Heterogeneous
Catalysis, including Thermal Catalysis, Environmental Applications, Chemical Transformations,
Single Atom/Cluster Catalysis, Emission Control, Greenhouse Gas
Reduction/Utilization, Clean Energy Source Conversion, X-ray Absorption
Spectroscopy etc.We have 2 postdoc positions open now at
the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering (CEE), University of
California, Riverside. The postdoc researchers will be supervised by Dr. Fudong
Liu (https://profiles.ucr.edu/fudong.liu;https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=5gRxLTwAAAAJ&hl=en). The duration
period for the positions is Jan-Sep 2025 to Jan-Sep 2027 (at least two years; early
starting date is highly preferred).The research directions include but not
limit to heterogeneous catalysis, thermal catalysis, nanomaterial synthesis,
single atom catalysis, cluster catalysis, environmental pollution control
including HC/CO oxidation, NO/NH3 oxidation, NH3decomposition, NOx reduction and volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) removal, greenhouse gas (CO2, CH4, N2O,
HFCs etc.) reduction/utilization, clean energy source conversion etc.
Duties include heterogeneous catalyst synthesis, experimental design, catalyst
aging, reactor testing, catalyst characterization (preferentially with skills
on synchrotron based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) technique), and
reaction mechanism study etc.The research team has strong catalysis
research and application background, with advanced instrumentation for catalyst
synthesis, aging, testing, characterization, and reaction mechanism study, as
well as rich collaborative resources including synchrotron-based XAS,
HAADF-STEM and DFT calculation + KMC simulation etc.Candidates with
PhD degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science and
Engineering or a closely related field, as well as strong motivation in both
fundamental and applied heterogeneous catalysis research are encouraged to
apply.Candidates
with strong interest can contact Dr. Fudong Liu (fudong.liu@ucr.edu) by sending
(1) A cover letter detailing specific experience; (2) A copy of CV/Resume; and
(3) A list of at least three references (only names, emails and institutions).Only complete application
materials will be considered. The search will continue until the position is
filled.For questions
regarding the position, please contact Dr. Fudong Liu at fudong.liu@ucr.edu.- PhD must be completed prior to start date.
