About this position
University of South Carolina is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Chemical Engineering for research on anion-exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzers, with emphasis on catalyst synthesis, electrode optimization, and suppressing hydroxyl radical attack during operation.
The position is in the research group of William Mustain, Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Director of the Carolina Institute for Battery Innovation. The work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and involves materials synthesis, catalyst development, electrochemical testing, and advanced characterization.
Successful applicants should have a Ph.D. by the start date and strong experience in AEM electrolyzers (AEM fuel cells may be acceptable), MEA fabrication, materials synthesis, and advanced physical characterization tools. Experience with electrochemical data analysis such as polarization curves, voltammetry, rotating disk electrode methods, and EIS is preferred.
The role includes laboratory experiments, literature review, research documentation, technical reporting, manuscript preparation, presentations, and collaboration with faculty, researchers, and students. The appointment is a full-time research grant position with salary commensurate with qualifications.
Applications must be submitted through the official USC portal only. The posting states that applications are accepted until 2026-08-28. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for the next stage, which includes a Teams interview and research presentation.
Funding details
Postdoctoral research position supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. The posting is a full-time staff research grant position with salary commensurate with qualifications. Benefits may be available depending on grant/project funding.
What's required
Applicants must have a doctoral (Ph.D.) degree in the area of research specialty by the start date of employment. Strong candidates should have significant experience with AEM electrolyzers, with AEM fuel cells acceptable but less preferred, hands-on MEA fabrication experience, an extensive materials synthesis background, and demonstrated operation of advanced physical characterization tools. Preferred knowledge includes electrochemical data collection and analysis, including deconvoluting polarization curves, voltammetry, rotating disk electrode methods, and EIS. Candidates should be able to communicate clearly and effectively.
