Postdoc in Light-Driven Synthesis of Chemicals and Fuels at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in United States

The Dempsey group at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is recruiting a postdoc to work on light-driven synthesis of chemicals and fuels. The project centers on using the unique electronic structures of charge transfer excited states in transition metal catalysts to enable new light-promoted chemical transformations.

This opportunity is well suited to researchers with backgrounds in catalysis, coordination chemistry, time-resolved spectroscopy, electronic structure characterization, and/or photochemistry. The post emphasizes strong prior research productivity, creativity, innovation, leadership, mentoring, self-motivation, ambition, and excellent communication and organizational skills.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in chemistry or a closely related field by the start date. The post does not specify funding details, but it is presented as a hiring call for a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Jillian Dempsey’s group.

Applications should be submitted through the linked Microsoft Forms portal, with a curriculum vitae uploaded as instructed. Review of applications begins on July 7.
