- Location: Boulder, CO
- Job Number: 7102474
- Posting Date: Jun 14, 2022
Job Description
Requisition Number: 39982
Location: Boulder, Colorado
Employment Type: Research Faculty
Schedule: Full-Time
Posting Close Date: 15-Jun-2022
Date Posted: 13-Jun-2022
Job Summary
The Department of Materials Engineering encourages applications for a PostDoctoral Associate! This individual will be working on understanding the molecular scale structure of solid electrolytes, and liquid electrolytes to charged interfaces. The former will ultimately help to improve solid-state batteries whereas the latter aims towards understanding the formation of the solid-electrolyte interface in Lithium batteries. This is part of the DOE-funded JCESR Energy Hub.
The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.
Who We Are
Materials Science and Engineering is at the forefront of research advancements across a number of fields, including nanotechnology, biotechnology and medicine, metallurgy, polymers, renewable energy, electronics and photonics, advanced computing, self-assembly and much more.
What Your Key Responsibilities Will Be
Conducting X-ray scattering of electrified interfaces and solid state electrolytes.
What You Should Know
All University of Colorado Boulder employees are required to comply with the campus COVID-19 vaccine requirement. New employees must provide proof of vaccination or receive a medical or religious exemption within 30 days of employment.
What We Can Offer
The salary for this full-time position is $60,000 annually.
Benefits
The University of Colorado offers excellent benefits, including medical, dental, retirement, paid time off, tuition benefit and ECO Pass. The University of Colorado Boulder is one of the largest employers in Boulder County and offers an inspiring higher education environment. Learn more about the University of Colorado Boulder.
Be Statements
Be ambitious. Be pioneering. Be Boulder.
What We Require
A Ph.D. in a relevant discipline.
What You Will Need
Experience with synchrotron based X-ray scattering techniques such as small-angle scattering, X-ray reflectivity and diffraction. Strong knowledge of scientific cell design with good skills in CAD; experience with constructing multiple cells for X-ray scattering research.
What We Would Like You To Have
A strong background in various synchrotron based X-ray scattering and modeling techniques, such as small-angle scattering, total scattering and x-ray reflectivity is required. Additionally, a background in electrochemical analysis at interfaces, i.e. electric impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry is vital for the role. To construct the cells needed to conduct the research, strong design capabilities using CAD software are desired.
Special Instructions
To apply, please submit the following materials:
Resume or CV
Cover letter addressed to the Search Committee briefly describing your qualifications, professional goals, and specific interest in this position.
If you are selected as the finalist, your degree will be verified by the CU Boulder Campus Human Resources department using an approved online vendor. If your degree was obtained outside of the United States, please submit a translated version as an optional attachment.
During the application process you will need to enter contact information for a reference. We will request a letter of recommendation and additional materials, if needed, as the search progresses.
Review of applications will begin immediately and the posting will remain open until June 15, 2022.
Note: Application materials will not be accepted via email. For consideration, applications must be submitted through CU Boulder Jobs.
