Job Description
The University of Wyoming is delighted to receive your interest in our vacant position! We strive to connect with qualified and uniquely talented individuals to join our campus community. We would love to hear how your experiences translate to this position the Universitys Mission Vision and Values and encourage you to submit an application today!
JOB TITLE:
Post Doctoral Research Scientist
JOB PURPOSE:
The Design of Inorganic Materials Lab in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wyomingled by Prof. de Sousa Oliveirais accepting applications for a postdoctoral researcher or research assistant with experience in modeling polaron transport. Candidates with a PhD and no previous experience will be hired as postdoctoral researchers. Candidates with additional experience will be hired at the research assistant rank. Research assistants will be expected to conduct research at a higher level of independence and contribute significantly to the development of the project.
Band conduction is the typical mode of conduction for inorganic materials. However in polar and ionic solids local lattice distortions can lead to (localized) polaron conduction. We aim to investigate if polaron hopping is a suitable conduction mechanism for thermoelectricity in MOFs. This work is supported by the Department of Energy through an Early Career Research Program Award.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Publish in peer reviewed journals.
- Present results at nationally and internationally recognized conferences.
- Create share and archive reproducible and robust code.
- Participate in group activities and outreach.
- Collaborate with other researchers.
- Contribute to writing proposals.
REMOTE WORK ELIGIBILITY:
This position provides vital support to campus customers and requires the successful candidate be available to work on campus.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
- APhD in theoretical/computational Chemistry Physics Materials Scienceor related disciplines.
