Environmental Nanotechnology
3、博后位置介绍(必填)
(1) Two Post-Doctoral Positions Are Available in Environmental Nanotechnology
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) (http://www.kaust.edu.sa) is an international, graduate-level research university supported by a multi-billion dollar endowment. With sufficient research funding, highly competitive and merit-based compensation scheme and university leadership’s vision and commitment to make KAUST one of the world's greatest academic institutions, KAUST has attracted a large group of leading scholars to join it. Furthermore, through a Global Research Partnership, KAUST has built up deep and meaningful partnerships with the world's most premier institutions (e.g., Stanford University, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC), The University of Oxford, UC Berkeley, Cornell University, University of Texas at Austin) and biggest companies (e.g., IBM, Boeing, Dow Chemical Company), which provide KAUST researchers ample opportunities to work with the world's most leading scientists and to commercialize their research projects. The aforementioned unrivaled resources available to KAUST researchers offer unprecedented opportunities for young scientists to build up their career at KAUST. A recent report on Science Magazine about KAUST can be found here: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/326/5951/354.
Two post-doctoral research associates are now being recruited in broad areas of environmental nanotechnology and the specific project opportunities will depend on the interests and experience of the applicants. However, previous research experiences in one or more of the following areas are highly valued:
Development of novel, highly efficient, and new-generation nanomaterials for environmental application, including but not limited to: water treatment by adsorption (e.g., highly selective adsorbents based on molecular imprinting, core-shell structured nanomaterials, functionalized mesoporous carbon/silica-based materials) and by catalysis (e.g., highly efficient bimetallic catalysts and photocatalyst, finding solutions to noble metal catalyst poisoning)
Development of lab-on-a-chip sensor based on microfluidics for fast water contaminant analysis (e.g., PPCPs, heavy metals) via fluorescent, colorimetric, or electrochemical detection . Previous experiences with enzyme, aptamer or DNAzyme based sensors are highly valued.
Applicants should possess a Ph.D. in material sciences, chemical engineering, or related fields. Successful candidates are expected to have a good publication record, ability to work in a team, and a good command of oral and written English.
The positions are available starting April 2010 and the appointment will be initially for one year and may be renewed up to 3 years pending research progress. The salary for postdocs at KAUST is highly competitive (USD $50,000~90,000 per year, depending on qualifications) and there is no income tax in Saudi Arabia. Free housing (no utility charge), health insurances and air-ticket for returning home country each year will be provided. Applicants should submit a detailed resume with a research proposal to Professor Peng Wang at peng.wang@kaust.edu.sa. Review of applications will begin immediately and the positions will remain open until filled.
(2) Professor Wang is always looking for self-motivated and hard-working PhD students who are interested in nanotechnology to join his group. There are NO tuitions and fees for master and PhD students at KAUST. The stipend for PhD students at KAUST is highly competitive (USD $30,000 to $40,000 per year plus free housing and health insurance).
