Openings in Thermal Interface Materials, AFM, and AI for Masters, PhD, and Postdoc Researchers Zhejiang University in China

Professor Ergen is recruiting for multiple research openings at Zhejiang University across several levels, including Masters, PhD, and Postdoc positions, as well as opportunities for undergraduates and technicians.

The lab is especially interested in candidates with backgrounds in chemistry, materials science, physics, electrical engineering, and computer science. Research themes include thermal interface materials (TIMs), high thermal conductivity organic/polymeric materials, aerogels, 2D materials, atomic force microscopy (AFM), KPFM, nanoscale characterization, LLM-enabled analysis, quantum materials discovery, and thermal transport in devices.

The post highlights a strong preference for people who are consistent, hardworking, high-agency, and eager to learn. Experience is not the only criterion; motivation and mindset are emphasized. The work connects fundamental materials research with real-world applications such as batteries, electronics cooling, wearables, and semiconductors.

To apply, email [email protected] with a short note explaining why you are interested. No deadline is stated in the post.
