Primary Purpose of Position
The Post-Doctoral Research Associate will conduct research that must align with the mission of the Center of Electrochemical Dynamics and Reactions on Surfaces (CEDARS).
The mission of CEDARS is an integrated theory-experiment approach to reveal how a catalyst splits water into hydrogen and oxygen at the molecular level.
The Postdoc, working independently but in close cooperation and consultation with the CEDARS’ Principal Investigators, Scientists, and students, will perform routine laboratory procedures throughout the training period.
He/she may develop, adapt, and implement new research techniques and protocols.
The postdoctoral fellows working at NCAT will also receive mentoring from the faculty members from the other intuitions participating in the Center.
Postdocs are expected to take on increased responsibilities throughout their time in the lab – including working on proposals, leading large projects, coordinating faculty visits, etc. – and are given regular opportunities to engage with major sponsors in both industry and in academia, depending on what career path the individual chooses to pursue.
