About this position
The Rafiee Lab at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, led by Assistant Professor Mohammad Rafiee, is recruiting a PhD student to join the group in Fall 2026. The research group specializes in electrosynthesis and molecular electrochemistry, with a new focus on integrating catalysis and organometallic chemistry. This opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in advancing the frontiers of catalysis, organometallic chemistry, and electrochemistry, particularly those with a strong background in organic and organometallic chemistry. The group is expanding its research direction to combine expertise in electrochemistry with organometallic approaches, aiming to develop innovative solutions in chemical synthesis and molecular transformations.
Applicants whose experience is primarily in electrochemical sensors or electrochemistry alone may not be the best fit for this position. The lab values interdisciplinary skills and seeks candidates who can contribute to the integration of organic and organometallic chemistry with electrochemical methods. The University of Missouri-Kansas City provides a collaborative research environment and access to state-of-the-art facilities for advanced chemical research.
Prospective students are encouraged to review the Rafiee Lab website for more information about ongoing projects and research interests. The application deadline for Fall 2026 entry is December 28, 2025. Funding details are not specified in the announcement, so applicants should inquire directly with Dr. Rafiee or the university's graduate admissions office for information about financial support, stipends, or scholarships.
To apply, interested candidates should contact Dr. Mohammad Rafiee and submit an application to the PhD program at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, highlighting their relevant background in organic and organometallic chemistry. This is an excellent opportunity for motivated students to join a dynamic research group at the intersection of catalysis, organometallic chemistry, and electrochemistry.
