Full job description
A postdoctoral research fellowship is available under the direction of Prof. Scott Misture, lnamori Professor of Materials Science & Engineering at Alfred University. The work centers on synthesis, characterization and properties of oxide ceramics for applications in energy storage and energy conversion.
Salary:$65,000
Postdoctoral positions are open in two general areas:
-
Study of redox-active oxides, for example those used in cathode and anode layers in solid oxide fuel cells. Detailed in-situ studies focused on electron microscopy (SEM and S/TEM), diffraction and scattering (including total scattering) and Raman or IR spectroscopy will be required.
-
Synthesis and structure studies of complex oxides with large structural blocks such as titanate shear phases, oxides that form large framework structures, and tunnel-structure oxides, all of which may be used in ion adsorption and electrochemical applications. A focus on atmosphere controlled synthesis will be required, as well as detailed characterization, much of which can (or must) be done using in-situ studies and of course property measurements.
The postdoctoral researcher will also be expected to provide mentoring to undergraduate and graduate students and to participate in University outreach and education activities for pre-college students. The extent of mentoring will be determined based on the candidate's career interests with additional opportunities for career development for any candidate who wishes to enter academia.
