About this position

The Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering Department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is seeking a Post-Doctoral Fellow to contribute to interdisciplinary research on novel, next-generation multifunctional construction materials. The work sits at the intersection of silica chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science, with a strong emphasis on understanding and designing materials with mechanical and electrical properties relevant to future infrastructure applications.

The position is based in a research lab that focuses on cutting-edge ideas for the most widely used materials by mass on the planet. The group combines advanced experimental and analytical capabilities with a collaborative research culture that connects to leading researchers across the country. The environment also includes access to user facilities and faculty collaborators in other departments, supporting work that extends well beyond traditional civil engineering boundaries.

This fellow will join an active research setting at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, a university known for strong research facilities and interdisciplinary collaboration. The role is intended for a researcher ready to work across scientific and engineering domains and contribute to high-impact materials innovation.

Funding details

Salary of $65,000 - $70,000 per year, with benefits including retirement match, wellness perks, tuition assistance, health insurance, and other employee benefits.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in a science or engineering field directly relevant to materials development and the mechanical and electrical properties of materials. Demonstrated research excellence is required through publications in one or more of the following areas: novel silica chemistry, crystal dissolution and growth, electrochemical methods coupled to material properties measurement, surface chemistry and associated techniques, or computational approaches such as computational chemistry or machine learning for material discovery and testing. Preferred qualifications include experience in materials science or related areas, competitive research grant proposals, innovation in materials development and intellectual property protection, and strong written/verbal communication and teamwork skills.

How to apply

Submit a single PDF containing a brief cover letter, current CV, academic transcripts for all completed degrees, full PDF copies of 3-5 representative peer-reviewed journal publications, and contact information for three professional references. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
